Who said they still cant?
They can, actually... Many nuclear bases in the US use floppy disks for code to reduce the risk of a cyberattack and because upgrading that intricate of a system is prohibitively expensive for how little good it would do.
private keys fit in a floppy disk, and their use range includes ransomware decryption and identity verification. In Mr. Robot, all 9-M could've been undone with a floppy.
Who would win? Thirty years of US security and tech, or one magnet boi?
