I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come, considering that we still use the standard almoat everywhere, nearly 28 years after its introduction.
That said, copying the data from old archives into new formats is always a good idea
Edit: I was envisioning actual external hard disk or solid state drives accessible using a USB connection. Thumb drives and other ultra-portable data formats are notorious for poor data integrity over time.
I REALLY hope LLM companies get the book thrown at them, specifically under DMCA. It’s such a flagrant double standard that these companies get to profit off of plagiarism while creators are constantly at risk of being falsely flagged for violating copyright and having huge streams of their income taken away at a moment’s notice
I personally agree with you on nearly all points, but it’s not what’s being argued by both major parties so I opted to leave it out of my original comment. I would argue that even if those changes couldn’t be made because politics, that at least documenting everyone who enters would have the effect of more accurate data than census and job reports can provide, because one is a 10-year process and the other is excluding non-working immigrants and those who do work exclusively under the table
Uncontrolled immigration IS a bad thing, because properly documenting the people who enter our country is vital for providing public services in a manner that reflects the population makeup.
Nearly everyone agrees that undocumented border crossings should be reduced, they disagree on how to do this.
That said, a failure to counter incoherent nonsense does not an acceptance make. Strive to post less sensationalist headlines
