Right? They’re still using floppy disks and fax machines.

Fax machines are one of the main ways of communications there. I guess floppy disks are indeed partly used at municipal offices yet.

Oh, very much so. There was a big news story about two years ago where a police officer lost a floppy disk that had a bunch of people’s personal information on it.
