    Huh, I always put that down to the fiction part of science fiction 😉 Can you imagine a scifi story where the lead says “oh, sorry, I can’t send you this file cause you don’t have a [brand device]”? 🤣

      Sure, a sci-fi comedy.

      At some point they have to go on a quest to dig up the coder who wrote a piece of software that stopped working but it’s so old nobody knows hpw to fix it anymore, so they need to do a National Treasure type adventure to find the journals and notes of the guy who wrote ImageMagick.

      I’d watch that movie about planned obsolescence and shitty tech infrastructure growing ever-more-fragile.
