Gonna need a full 10,000 year UAT period thanks
People 10,000 years from now will know how to read these files.

If we know that the material can go 10k years without degradation, which is something we can know, then it can last that long. Will it be practically possible to store it in a way that will allow for the maximum amount of time before the material begins to degrade? That's a whole other thing.
I'll personally make sure that the historians of the distant future are aware of 21st century micropenis.
Archeologists will find these in 1000 years and think it's just nice glass.
Unless you put it in the dishwasher to often.
