Before videotape we didn't have a way to store the analog signal sent to TVs. So studios pointed a film camera at a TV screen to record*, and then pointed a TV camera at a projector to rebroadcast it later. What are some similarly ridiculous, pragmatic hacks in modern software?
This is still just as bad today XD. For a sufficiently large amount of data it's cheaper to have Amazon mail you a hard drive, download an S3 bucket onto it, and mail it back to Amazon than to pay for the API calls to transfer that data to Glacier or another region

Yeah, it was similar, it was just an internal company chargeback for using the wan. Everything has more storage capacity, and there’s plenty more bandwidth. But speed of light is still the same, and NFS still sucks on a WAN.
