New comment by demute in "Copy That Floppy – Cambridge guide for preserving data from fragile floppy disks"

Efficient market hypothesis applied to this topic would say that if you really do have a floppy, you should already have made a copy of it. If that’s Not the case, transform it to a punched card and be done with it.

The chance that one would have anything important on a floppy that is not already backed up in the year of 2026 must be close to zero.

What is the most useless thing to learn that shows your learning skills on a CV?

Wouldn't it be great to add some humor to your CV that shows your excellence in learning stuff at the same time.
