    That used to be true in my country too. For some bureaucratic issues, fax was legal-binding. For example, for public health/social pharmaceutical deliveries, it acted as a valid receipt, it was “official”. I noted fax used to improve delivery times, reducing errors.

    Also there was that psychological effect of paper.

    On the Health&Edu sector, most of the secretaries were young girls and they loved to be written something after the official receipt was delivered (the first page in the call). I would write them something as a personal sidenote, and they will do the office work like a charm. Low-rank bureaucrats love to be addressed. These “Social skills” were not used on the official first page of course, but it worked! It saved me lots of headache and phone-drama.

    Fax is vintage tech since at least a decade, but it was useful.

    My first contact with them was not on a fax machine, but using a Sportster Winmodem/fax. Faxing was possible using a Windows 3.1 computer, using QuickLink II software.

    Later on, I got this “marvelous” Panasonic KX-FT38 fax machine, with its markings in Spanish of course. A noble 300dpi device, with 20min digital recorder for voice and data (delayed thermal printing was possible). Also has an automatic cutting blade. 14.4 kilobauds of pure faxing power!

    It was so nice I even didn’t care to remove its tacky stickers.

    I used it daily. Somewhat people REPLIED to fax transmissions, as it served to speed response time on bureaucratic nonsense. Secretaries did their thing when they got a fax with their names handwritten on them. IDKW but it worked.

    Hi @SDF, I’m peron, a SDF user from #Argentina.

    I’m an individual interested in historical operating systems, synthesizers, anonymity-respecting communities and cooperative electronic communication environments.

    I certainly enjoy login into public machines, and meeting new friendly people. SDF provides a nice suite of free-access federated services, including its Mastodon instances, PixelFed and now Lemmy. Greetings to all my friends and kind people on the Telematic Fortress.

    If anyone is interested in knowing a bit more about me, you can check this pseudoanonymous bio webpage. http://peron.sdf.org/whoami/

    ##The Cyber Surgeons Club in Argentina

    On May 20, we were at El club del Cybercirujeo (spanish for “Cyber.-trashing Club”), a meeting/performance/showup at the Techeles Cultural Center, Alsina 1748, City of Buenos Aires, #Argentina.

    Taking advantage of the participation of ~crazyjane and ~deadguy in the organization and ~arnica who was also present, we enjoyed the arrival of ~ffuentes from Chile to Argentina. The event found us ~peron, ~jota and ~thaiel in forms that can be described as pseudophysical.

    For me it’s a great pleasure to meet them all in person, which adds to the gathering of previous days! Althought we met in the data networks for a couple of years now (including on the SDF), this encounter makes me very happy, of course.

    The event is carried out for the benefit of the cyber-trasher masses. These involves a network of organized communities framed in the recycling and development of computer equipment. They restore computers to their original design specifications, but also apply updates and modifications to give them new practicality.

    The union of the power of knowledge and the mind while focused on a great task allows them to modernize the bowels of the hardware.

    How the hackers do it

    New and more powerful memory chips beef up machines that previously could only be described as zombies. Through the implantation of seasoned electronic brains extracted from mechanical corpses, and perhaps using hearts whose format is a new solid state drive, our delusional cyber-surgeons can breathe new life into them.

    Undoubtly this needs a new soul, and not just any: the Cyber-surgeons install strongly ideologized operating systems under the banner of Free Software. These multipurpose programs are generally derivatives of the GNU Project added to Linux-type kernels: they can thus be copied, manipulated and extended freely without any imposition thanks to the licenses that specifically allow and guarantee it. So it becomes possible to revive the unearthed machines as if they were a tamed Frankenstein capable of serving the People.

    The hardware could be considered important, but we must give it the dimension that it really has: that of being a malleable tool for joint work aimed at the Liberation of men, which must be superior.

    The hacker show

    Thus we find a lightning setup that revolves around several booths of Arduino devices to draw, mixing modern hardware with handmade controllers. Those are hacks involving levers and buttons from old unserviceable arcade machines. Some devices mutate to generate sound or interact with cell phone cameras or cathode ray tube television sets, as the screens illuminate with games. An almost fossilized Commodore 64s is revived thanks to its electronic DNA. Originally it was assembled in the 80s by the suburban Drean washing machine factory.

    In the #retrocomputing PC equipment area, several DOS games were made available to the public. Several old gaming PC were used, including a remarkable PC AT clones with a 12-inch amber monochrome monitor - a present from the Argentine computer past.

    In addition to being able to enjoy the classics Arkanoid, BlockOut or Prince of Persia, we tagged it by leaving a message from the hackers of texto-plano.xyz (our public UNIX community in Spanish) among the source code in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.

    As often happens, the true social network is friendship, and the Club is engendered by its mutants, who appear in dozens of colors, of all ages and genders.

    Children shall have the Right and Duty to have fun in a healthy way, without privative licenses of any kind clouding their existence. That is why at their side there was what was boldly described as “the end of the world’s largest cybercafe with recycled Linux”. Some twelve notebooks with Huayra GNU/Linux ran an Unreal-derived FPS to make such a boast. There were frenzied laser and rocket firefights, arbitrated by a router recovered from a trash bin and improved with OpenWRT, producing a wired local area network without any appreciable delay. Not bad for these little machines. None of the tech-savvy thinks those suffer from lack of power.

    Where there is a need, there is a right.

    At the end we met a lot of people from the data network scene, and then the interactive music show are launched. Live and loud chiptune music by a lineup of maestros of the genre like Mambo Rivas, Cinematronic, Coke n Aspirin and some another in charge of speakers and video walls.

    I left listening to the most wonderful music, which for me is synthesized with Free Software.
