I had to fax something to a credit card company last month and actually asked the customer service rep if they thought it was 1991 and faxes were still a valid firm of communication. Sigh.
Sadly, while the rep may agree with you, the law has yet to catch up. That’s why so many bank call centers, and the call centers for companies that deal with them, STILL have fax machines, because certain transactions (such as getting a hold released on a transaction that was declined due to the customer putting in an incorrect expiration date or CVV code) may only happen if the merchant sends a fax to the credit card’s bank.
It's rather fitting that Queen Latifah hosted that George Lucas Comic-Con panel since Yoda considered her to be the Queen of Earth.*
*Reference so obscure that I must explain it: at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, Yoda won Best Fight for his duel with Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones. The award was presented by none other than Samuel L. Jackson and (CGI) Yoda floated to the podium in his hover chair to give his acceptance speech. One of the people he thanked was Queen Latifah, who he identified as the Queen of Earth. Sitting in the audience, she shouted out, "I love you, Yoda!" 😁 (Pardon me as I show off my nerdiness.)

That is a deep cut! Going to have to see if I can find that on the YouTubes.
welcome back! Nice to have a new edition of Death Star HR to read.
