Ah, the good ol' days of loving computers 🤖❤️, when nerds were fueled by #floppy #disks and not by Silicon Valley snake oil. Who knew an overgrown calculator could inspire such poetry and profound #nostalgia, while #AI #villains cackle in the background? Clearly, the author missed the memo: the '90s called, they want their #tech #romanticism back! 😂

#ALMA has been in scientific operations for almost 15 years.
As of the beginning of February 2026, ALMA had observed 3933 independent coordinates.
Here is a collection of ALMAs observations of circumstellar #disks with substructures in dust continuum emission, available in the literature.
Each panel is 400 au in size, and the disks are scaled based on the #Gaia DR3 parallax, ranging from largest to smallest continuum disk from top to bottom.

🎨✨ Oh, the #nostalgia #trip nobody asked for! In a heroic attempt to relive the glory days of #dial-up #internet and #floppy #disks, our valiant coder insists on handcrafting every #pixel as if it's still 1993! 🚀 The only thing more outdated than this game’s graphics is the developer’s sense of time well spent. ⏳🤦♂️

Amiga disks on PC: Copy program G-Copy 0.8
G-Copy by Arne Urbaniak is a Windows program that uses Keir Fraser's Greaseweazle, D. Tonn's ADF-Drive or Rob Smith’s DrawBridge (Arduino) to create backup copies to and from HD, USB, SD cards and, of course, floppy disks.
The latest version, 0.8, includes bug fixes and improvements: G-Copy now supports copying from DF0 to DF1 and HD/USB/SD or DF1 to DF0 and HD/USB/SD at the same time.

🎉 In 1985, #Maxell thought life-size #robots devouring #floppy #disks was a killer ad idea. 🤖💾 Fast-forward to now, and it's just a relic of bad #tech marketing—imagine thinking robots are the future when your floppies can't even hold a single cat meme. 🙄

👴📼 Ah yes, #DOS #memory management—a riveting tale for anyone still living in 1985, yearning for the heyday of 640KB limits and swapping #floppy #disks. It's like watching paint dry but with more INT 13h interrupts. Wake me up when this #history lesson evolves past the Stone Age of computing! 🦕💾

🎮 Ah, yes, because nothing screams "cutting-edge #combat simulation" like squeezing the power of a jet fighter into the processing might of an #Atari XL/XE. 🚀 Who needs modern graphics or immersive gameplay when you can have a text-heavy #nostalgia trip down memory lane to the era of dial-up internet and #floppy disks? 📼

ADFDiskBox is a graphical user interface for the Greaseweazle Host Tools and is intended to simplify the reading and writing of Amiga disks and disk images (ADF, SCP:AmigaDOS, RawSCP).
With version 2.6.3, saving settings should now work again.

Days since I installed Debian on a new computer and completed a complex manual partitioning scheme involving stacked md, dmcrypt, and lvm while forgetting to create an EFI system partition, and so having to do the whole thing over from scratch:
0.
Argh. The installer should warn you about this earlier in the process. I always forget because I only do this every 3 or 4 years.

🚀✨ Behold, the riveting saga of #booting #BeOS on a #Hitachi FLORA Prius—a task so thrilling it demands a 1999 user manual and a sprinkle of Japanese documentation. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #technology like juggling #floppy #disks and boot managers in the era of #Y2K panic. 🤖💾

🤔 Oh, thrilling! Another mind-blowing revelation: #disks are important for databases! Thanks, Captain Obvious. 🚀 Who knew that testing disk write speed could be bundled into the same package as Postgres? But don't worry, you can still use it for other things because, you know, disks are just disks. 🙄

I recall a floppy disk brand from the early '80s called "Verbrum." It was an offshoot of Verbatim, I am nearly certain. I cannot find any evidence that this existed in web searches.
Does anyone else remember this brand / sub brand?

ADFDiskBox is a graphical user interface for the Greaseweazle Host Tools for Windows and is intended to simplify the reading and writing of Amiga discs and disc images (ADF, SCP:AmigaDOS, RawSCP). Version 2.4 adds an options form to declutter the main form, changes the disk type names and adds a button to load the HxC Software.
