Nothing except for the limited size. I believe even today, nothing exists today for temp storage that have the convenience of diskettes.
USB Flash Drives comes close, but cheaper versions can in rare cases have firmware "virises". On a diskette, just do a format and all issues gone. Also I never even thought twice about mailing a file on a diskette expecting to never see that diskette again. Flash Drives, I still would like to get it back after mailing it out :)
I remember working in a warehouse that stored many ICs when I was very young. IIRC, Zilog packaging was quite good. Some other brands packages would crack or open up if nor handled with "kid gloves". This brings back memories,
One of my favorite shows. The show started out very well, then morphed into a shoot-them-up type show in the later seasons, which I did not like. But I stuck with it.
Too bad it went the way it did :(
I binged it a year ago or so, yes it holds up well and is still entertaining :) I use to watch it when it came out, but I missed most of the first season back then.
Enjoy,
I decided to move to gemini on SDF. Data is far easier to maintain and you can use any editor to add/change files.
In case you do not know what I am referring to:

The add seems fine for me, just replace the fight with Cell Phones and you are good to go.
But in 2023 with all the movies with blood and gore, this being NSFW in 2023 is a bit over kill :) Never mind the fact here is the US we now get see children being shot for real in news casts :( And accidentally showing a certain body part in a sports event, you get banned for life.
A couple:
CRC Errors when restoring 9-track tapes (the large reels) on a mini at work.
A manager not knowing a removable 256meg Disk Pack suffered a heard crash. So he mounted it on 4 or 5 production drives, destroying the hardware. He did this to test if the Disk pack was OK. This caused almost a month of agony while we went looking for hardware to replace the drives. This caused manufacturing to slow down since inventory could not be ordered.
I can almost laugh now :)

geezes, in today's political environment that "scandal" would not even hit the top ten :)
I really did not like how Kes (Jennifer Lien) was written out so they could have a Borg Character. Nothing against Jeri Ryan, but the idea of Kes type Alien was intriguing. Then when they brought her back as a god like character even made the concept for Kes worse.
The other thing missed is laptops manufactured within the past 10 years will meet most people's needs, so no need to purchase new if there is no hardware issues.
And I wish they mentioned the TPM2 requirement Microsoft is forcing on people, that could generate a lot of ewaste.
Normally I would say anything over 10 years old. But due to how 10 year old computers are fully useable, I am thinking anything with 1 core. Maybe in a few years it could be ones without a TMP2 :)
No, to write to a CD, you need to use specialized software, not just a simple copy.
Plus what about copying to replaced a files already on the CD ? I believe you need to clear it first then rewrite everything back. CD are about as inconvenient as a media can get.
