    I heard if you play the record backwards it boots you into Windows ME.

    There’s a joke here somewhere about how you should master your boot record

    If you don’t use 1000 eur gold plated RCAs, it just doesn’t sound right…

    This should be a fun little detail in a movie or something like that, but booting is just loading data, and doing that from analog media is nothing new.

    edit: tbf, the author points that out, too. It’s just a little joke.

      Nah, the data just sounds better on vinyl. Especially if you use valves instead of silicon transistors.

      Maybe your system clock is out of sync? And it’s from 2020/2022.
