Heard an epic vintage #telecom story today: At the time we sent a lot of #faxes from Czechia to Britian and the country code was 044, and one day no faxes were going through. This was in the days of pulse dialing still, it was a very frustrating day, I went home. One of the other employees called the phone company. The phone company explained the number four wasn't working that day, it would be fixed soon. #analog #pulsedial #dialing #rotary #rotarydial

In 2023, how are faxes still a thing?

According to Arthur C Clarke, #Faxes still exist in 2061, despite having #SpaceShips that can take ~50 people to #Jupiter.

I believe him.

Someone built a #Nextcloud app to send and receive #faxes. No kidding. https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/pax_fax
This could be a breakthrough for the digitalisation of the German government 😉
