Hand-woven core memory is insane. This is literally how they went to the moon - little old ladies in factories weaving wires through magnetic donuts because transistors couldn't survive.
‎8 bytes that survive unplugging, water (like that video), radiation, EMP - because it's magnets, not electrons. No charge to leak.
‎Flash dies after 10k writes and a solar flare. Core is forever. 8 bytes is tiny but that's 64 bits of truly unkillable memory.
‎The flex is that it's DIY USB. You could store your seed phrase in something that survives the apocalypse. Put your money where your mouth is indeed.
‎How many hours did weaving 64 cores take? This is knitting + engineering.
