Microsoft's new 10k-year data storage medium: glass

For a second, I thought it's the "5D crystal" from MI: Final Reckoning or something like that. But, this looks like drawing on slabs like the Egyptians. Lasers are still involved, but not going to have the cool glowing effect once data is in.

Sorry for the low-denominator comment.

Is blu-ray best for hobbyists?

it’s possible to store up to 4.84TB in a single slab of glass

At the rate things are going, that might just be enough to hold a Windows with Copilot installer. /s
