Honestly, this just reflects the age of the population. Change is more painful when you're old, so stasis becomes more attractive. Usually Germans like the general idea of improvement, but they hate change.
- ethbr1 3y agoAh, so that's why Germany and Japan have such an easy trading relationship.
- tormeh 3y agoYes, finally someone else with whom to fax.
- alex_suzuki 3y agoAnyone here who has written a fax gateway (receive TIFF of fax, do OCR, save somewhere and convert to PDF)? raises hand (fax is alive and well in Switzerland)
- ethbr1 3y agoThis boggles the mind on the cultural-legal implications in fax-centric countries of doing: Fax to TIFF to OCR to PDF to internet transfer to TIFF to fax But anyone still requiring fax would probably just be happy "it came out of a fax machine / software."
- tormeh 3y agoFax is a secure channel, apparently, which of course is complete horseshit. It uses the phone network, which is only marginally better than the internet. Many know that email headers can be faked, but not so many know that phone numbers can, too. Legally I guess this becomes the problem of the party that introduces the intermediate stages. The other party doesn't need to care.
