It seems an R730xd with 40TB on board is currently worth around MYR20,000.

Any takers? :D

Technical requirements for #Malaysia websites and services (especially for government services):
- AI chatbot
- broken user account management/login
- insane password requirements from the 1990's.
- subcon and store everything in China
- make it an app

And the latest addition: BLOCKING password managers/generators to prevent secure industry-standard best practices.

Ok to be fair, NFC comes pretty close. But many don't have it, and even those who do have no idea!

The CONCEPT of #physicalmedia has disappeared from the public's mind, even if the media itself has not.

It's such a shame that #physicalmedia has practically disappeared for most people.

Wrangling with Airdrop, Bluetooth, NFC, clouds, etc is just never going to work; not because of the technology, but because of the UX. Nothing beats doing it in person for handling authentication, authorization, and distribution all in one go.

Our #cyberpunk datashard moment came and went :(
