What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

I mean it's cool for a disc, but HDDs still beat that, Seagate just released a 36TB HDD to mass market, optical always lags behind on storage density and speed
From wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archival_Disc
That limit I mentioned has nothing with the 'technological limit'. Simply enough they lost with the adoption - if the clients wanted, they would get bigger archival discs.
I'm aware, I've done heavy research for my own mass cold archival plans.
It's a physics problem is why it lags behind HDDs so much, and to reach that 6TB on optical it's a cartridge with literal multiple discs inside. Adoption or no, it was never going to reach storage density parity with HDDs. Hell, even SSDs are having a difficult time taking on HDDs storage density
Optical drives already are surpassing magnetic or even ssd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_data_storage it's more advanced version of optical drives, for obvious reasons it's just a prototype and most likely it will stay so for quite a long time but still, optical storage hasn't reached the limit.
