I received a fax at work once, 10 years ago. The subcontractor has issues with their email so they call me to warn me they were faxing me the document I needed.
It took me a good 2 hours to finally locate the fax machine in the factory, no one had any idea that we still had a fax machine running.
I think you can send faxes to computers and they just get received as emails with attached PDFs. It’s not great because of course it’s just a picture of a document, so it’s not searchable or editable unless you run it through an OCR program.
Because the oldest people making decisions don’t understand technology and refuse to accept that better ways are available if old ways still work. Fax machine users would rather work harder than smarter.
WHY WONT THESE FUCKING THINGS DIE ALREADY, STOP USING THEM!!!

All those sensitive forms that still have to go through fax will be picked up by email.
Just kill me and be done with it.

Sender - uses email to fax software
Recipient - uses fax to email software.
because, since fax machines are older than telephones, they have had time to be written into law.

Because the fax machine prints a confirmation that it was received
What the hell. I haven’t seen one in decades.
