let me guess you "NEED" more
>Not toggling the front panel to load from paper tape.You needed more.
>>103214527There's a reason zoomers only know these as save icons.
>>103214527Yes

they aren't even that coolI usually give a fuck about old tech IF it's cool but these rectangular pieces of plastic? nuh uh
>>103214537And even as save icons they're already getting replaced left and right because newer generations don't know what the fuck that thing even is
>>103214527>Playing Monkey Island 2>Walk anywhere>*INSERT DISK #12*fuck floppy disks, thank fuck they are dead
>>103214527Fuck floppy disks. Cyclic redundancy error check failed. The last machine I built with one was in 2003. Once you no longer had to hit F-whatever to load SATA drivers (so Vista, onwards) the floppy was finally dead. Piece of shit that stuck around for nearly two decades longer than it should've.

>>103214527floppy disk evolved into today's micro sd cards, as soon as NAND prices hit the ceiling with miniaturization we can go back to spinning rust

Installing games was bad, installing MS Office and OS upgrades was pure hell.
>>103217314BLOAToral tradition ONLY
>>103214527Your picture of a floppy fills more than half of a floppy.
>>103214544>zip click.jpgThey released Zip, had the infamous "click of death" issue and got "click" associated with their brand as a very bad thing all their users feared might happen.Than they released a product named Clik!I do not understand Iomega naming decisions.
>>103214527Yeah I do. I always need more than these pieces of shit.
>>103219881This. Couple to some archivers filling an entire disk, so disk utils could not recover bad data. I still have flashbacks of warcraft 2 rip install failing on disk 22. Fdds are pure hell.
You're right, it fits the best music video of all time. Why would you ever need more?https://files.catbox.moe/smuhy2.webm
>>103219925>built in lossyNo thanks
>>103214527yeah, I need more discs
>>103214527>let me guess you "NEED" moreYou jest, but I have a couple external floppy drives that use USB. It's a great medium to keep small encrypted secrets as most people do not have a way to even read the disk.
>>103224938a now-obscure flash format would be more reliable imo, but that is a good point. using an obsolete format to dissuade casual snoops
>>103224962I consider them disposable secrets but if I was worried about data loss I would use par2cmd or one of the forks to put parity data on a couple floppies.
>>103224938oh, I use those drives just for my old sony mavica, not for hiding things
>>103214527This is too small for 1 furry porn pic and I need at least 100k.
