This image is a screenshot of a social media post containing a vintage photograph of famous American actress Lucy Liu taken in the 1990s. In the photo, young Lucy Liu has long straight black hair, wears a blue tank top printed with the word "Babe" in pink cursive font, looks off to her left with a calm, neutral expression, and is positioned against a dark background. The post above the photograph is from the verified X (formerly Twitter) account Past Preserved (@PastPreserved), with the text caption reading "A young Lucy Liu, 1990s".

The meme displays a vintage 1990s lockable plastic storage case for 3.5-inch floppy disks, which were the primary portable data storage medium of that era. Text at the top of the image reads 'Top of the line IT security in the 1990s', humorously framing the locked case as a high-grade data security measure. The joke comes from the obvious oversight highlighted by a red circle: the keys to the case's lock are left inserted directly in the lock, completely negating any security benefit the lock would provide, making the 'top tier security' claim deeply ironic.

This image is a screenshot of a Twitter conversation between two users joking about 1990s IT security. The first user Patrick shares a photo of a locked storage box for vintage 5.25-inch floppy disks, with the lock circled in orange, and jokes that this was IT security back in the 90s. A second user Chuck replies that while the physical lock may look silly now, the data stored on those floppies cannot be hacked remotely from halfway across the world, pointing out the unarguable benefit of physical air-gapped security compared to modern connected systems. The original Reddit post this was shared from also notes that the box can be misidentified as a Super Nintendo console at first glance.
