Unfortunately this is no longer true. Matsumoto's paper, "Voyager Interstellar Mission: Challenges of Flying a Very Old Spacecraft on a Very Long Mission" notes that the full suite of system simulators were not retained beyond the prime mission due to reliability problems, loss of expertise, and a move. This makes the team's recent achievements even more impressive.

I had a couple, complete with the belt clip, which attracted derision from friends, but was unequalled in its convenience. Fantastic devices. I remember being amazed that I could ssh from a mobile device (and go on IRC!) and recall the agonizing wait for OTAs to roll out. Knowing a number of developers at Danger didn't help me get them any faster! I still have them in my museum of old mobile phones.

Enjoyed this thoroughly. I am especially glad to have this community in this age of AI.

I've also had surprising success extracting data from old floppy disks. I went through a box of 50 or so 3.5" disks a year or two ago, some of which were 25+ years old, and about 80% of them were either readable directly, or fully/mostly recoverable using GNU ddrescue. Something like a Greaseweazle would likely read even more. Always worth a try!

Stunning. I especially like the artist's subtle but skilled use of light. Thank you for sharing this.

My first reaction to this post was a downvote, since the NSFW tagging blurred the image in my feed, and the blurred image looked like something that should be blurred. The title also sounded suspect. I assumed it was porn spam until I opened it.

Echoes of Henry Root. Here’s a pound!
