I did not, but ChatGPT 4o did and explained it to me:

ChatGPT said:
The joke "Noah: What's a qubit?" plays on the similarity in sound between "qubit" (a concept from quantum computing) and "cubit", an ancient unit of measurement famously used in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.
Here’s the breakdown:
In the Bible, Noah is instructed to build the Ark with specific dimensions given in cubits.
A cubit is a historical unit of length, roughly the length of a forearm (about 18 inches).
A qubit, on the other hand, is a quantum bit, the basic unit of information in quantum computing.

Try barcodes or QR printed with a laser printer on plain paper.
This should have more longevity (hundreds of years?) than any floppy disk (ten, twenty years?).
Don't forget to keep the barcode/QR software source code printed on paper, too ;)

Submission + - Framework's software and firmware have been a mess. (arstechnica.com)

"Driver bundles remain un-updated for years after their initial release. BIOS updates go through long and confusing beta processes, keeping users from getting feature improvements, bug fixes, and security updates. In its community support forums, Framework employees, including founder and CEO Nirav Patel, have acknowledged these issues and promised fixes but have remained inconsistent and vague about actual timelines."

As a recent Framework 13/AMD owner, I can confirm that it does not sleep properly on a default Windows 11 install. When I close the lid in the evening, the battery is dead the next morning. It's interesting to hear from Linux Sebastian (LTT) on the topic because he is a stakeholder in Framework.
