  3. Je vois parfois sur certains médias sociaux des conneries du genre « imaginez le nombre de disquettes requis pour installer Windows 11 », avec une image d’une disquette de 1,44 Mo étiquetée disquette 1 de N, 1,44 Mo.

    Il faut savoir que les disquettes d’installation de Windows 95 et 98 étaient formatées en 1,7Mo. Les fichiers d’installation de Windows sur le CD-ROM des fichiers .CAB, numéroté séquentiellement, d’environ 1.63Mo.

  6. The fact that there are people who use computers who have never used a floppy disk makes me feel old. [1]

    [1] Never mind people who use computers who have never used a keyboard.

  9. Another one from the 0,9 MP Sony MVC-FD83 #Mavica with floppy disc drive. It still holds up for social media resolution, but the video aesthetic of the bokeh (or the lack thereof) is a giveaway for it's "quality" ...

  10. #ThrowbackThursday to when corporate video production could happily create gen locked video titles and subtitles from a program run from a floppy disc.
    Why I've got this I don't know. #Amiga #retro #OldTech #FloppyDisc

  11. This pic makes it look more like spring than it actually feels like here. The old tulips getting ready to open up. Taken with the vintage floppy disc based camera we found on waste ground in glorious 1.2 megapixels (not bad really.Even a hint of bokeh). Not the max possible resolution avilable but 6 images a disc is as practical as I can live with. #Mavica #FloppyDisc #VintageDigital #VintageDigitalCamera #SonyMavica #photography

  15. At last an image from the 1.3MP Sony Mavica FD85 . Took me ages to find my old floppy drive (nothing is lost.Just hiding).
    Here's a pic of a picture frame feat. our much missed cat giving us the look of usual max contempt and the legend "the difference between cats and dogs is that dogs come when called and cats take a message and get back to you".
    The image in this frame was originally take on a Kodak 1.3MP DC240.

  17. Having a concerted (ok with lots of tea breaks) attempt to go through stuff. Legacy formats still in boxes. Only one of these I can still access (sshh. It's the minidisc).
    The floppy disc was for the Amiga. #stuff #formats #Hi8 #MiniDisc #Amiga #DVCam #FloppyDisc

  21. Holy moly—was cleaning out the basement and found two boxes of old software CDs and some that were even older #BasementArchaeology #FloppyDisc #MOTU #Performer

  22. So I’ve finally got one of these floppy disc cleaning thingys from @rmcretro , and this could be the cornerstone for my next video. 🤔😁👍

  24. Did you know that @Username_Here_ASAP and I write and produce a podcast (and a TV show) about the world's worst bigfoot hunter, his attempts to find and kill bigfoot, and the things he finds and kills instead?

    It's free, at expeditionsasquatch.org, but the first episode is also available as a sub 1.4 MB #floppycast that will fit on a #floppydisc

    you can read more about the creation of this floppycast on my blog ajroach42.com/floppycasts-1-44

  26. Odd #Linux question: Does #linuxmint come with #floppydisc drivers in it? Or can they be installed? I've got some I want to get rid of, but wanted to go through them first.

    Thanks!

  27. Zum Marktstart waren Disketten für Daten die praktische und sichere Alternative zu Magnetband. Aus Neu-PCs sind die Laufwerke schon lange wieder verschwunden.​
    Disketten: Diese Scheiben waren ein Hit​
  28. Alan Wilder explains how an Emulator 2 works. Oh the 80's and their huge discs! 360k (I think?) data, and Christmas Island sounds.
