Yeah if that's all that needed replacing. The entire system is ancient, not just the disks, like:

Much more critical than the dated use of floppy disks is the system's loop cable, which transmits data between the central servers and the trains and, according to Roccaforte, "has less bandwidth than an old AOL dial-up modem."

The SFMTA's website adds:

The loop cable is fragile and easily disturbed. This makes subway maintenance more difficult. This also means the system cannot be extended outside the subway, along surface rail, where currently we don’t have automatic train control.

You sound like an absolutely exhausting person. If you don't see the point then you can just glance at the post and not open the link. It's not some deep analysis, it's just a quick list for people to glance at for a few seconds. Your contrarian critiques don't even make any sense. You think a game is overrated so...it shouldn't count? And if story mode isn't being played it also shouldn't count? And if mods are being used it also shouldn't count? In summary, you enjoy nothing and believe no one else should enjoy anything either.

You're an angry little pissant. She said no such thing, she said if she couldn't avoid ending up in a situation where stabbing is a serious concern she had made some poor choices. That's extremely different from 'getting stabbed is the victim's fault', which you chose to read it as. It's the difference between being hit by a drunk driver vs being hit by another car after running a red light. She very clearly listed places she avoids to intentionally reduce the danger of being a victim. Sane non-rage filled people understand the idea of avoiding danger just as they understand that not all people can avoid those situations nor can all danger be predicted.

After watching batman throw around explosives left and right I no longer believe batman doesn't use guns because of some sort of moral quandary but rather he just prefers the challenge.

In early depictions of Batman, there were times in which he freely killed criminals and times where he was an officially deputized state agent. In contrast, most depictions since at least the late 80s and 90s were much more progressive, with Bruce Wayne being the biggest philanthropist in Gotham, helping to provide low cost housing and healthcare, as well as funding criminal rehabilitation and direct job placement for ex-cons with Wayne Industries. Writers were aware of the other aspects of justice that Batman needed to embody long before it was trendy on the internet to edgily portray Batman as a billionaire who enjoys beating people up for fun.
