see how many of them it takes to hold a single 4K image

superkret OP ,

That’s just over 8MP.
You could easily store a 4K Image on a floppy in half-way decent quality, two with visible jpeg artifacts.

tilefan ,

okay so make it bigger

don’t run Doom with them

FMEEE ,

Inserting your floppy is a time honored tradition. Have a few too many beers, and give it a go. You have 10 chances to succeed, it seems.

Use them to make a bootleg copy of Duke Nukem to share with your friends. That’s what we used to do with them lol

mocha_lotsofmilk ,

Go play a very public and dramatic round of disc golf

kaitco ,

Run Doom on them?

Buy doom on steam, download and backup the install files on the floppy

Mount nine of them on a square board so that they’re all focused on a single point for a mild solar furnace.

Use the last one to look at yourself, the proud owner of a mild solar furnace.

Tiltinyall ,

What kind of floppies are you thinking of? the very little metal on those discs aren’t that reflective.

Melatonin ,

I was too far in the future, using CDs. Floppies, wow.

Now I’m going to have to rethink my whole thing.

PolydoreSmith ,

You… don’t know what a floppy disk is, do you?

Melatonin ,

I do, I just don’t pay careful attention to details and just run with what I think things are saying.

My first computer was an Atari 520ST. No hard drive (its OS ran off a chip), and every program ran off a floppy. And your storage was on a floppy.

Yeah, I know floppies. I used to have shoeboxes of them.

TDK’s revenue has been increasing steadily at least starting from 2010. When was the last time you bought a TDK product?

ayyy ,

You probably have one of their chips or components in your computer, phone, tv, charger brick, etc.

Sue the maker for false advertising. 1.44MB is clearly not High Density.

It is compared to their predecesssor.

The 720kb “double density” diskette used for example, in Commodore Amiga computers.

Baaron87 ,

Find a way to convert them into triangle shaped disks

hddsx ,

Ew. Hexagons are the bestagons

Baaron87 ,

Ha! That was a good one.

(I’ll be surprised if anyone gets the reference I made lol)

spacemanspiffy ,

Split up something like Puppy or Damn Small Linux across them all.

Build a PC with 15-20 floppy drives and insert and mount them all.

Boot Linux off of all the floppies.

SkaveRat ,

Build a PC with 15-20 floppy drives and insert and mount them all.

10 floppy drive raid, please. don’t want to lose that critical data

Throw them at junior sysadmins like shuriken.

kindenough ,

Fuck being incorrect. Buy an old AKAI sampler and make music from floppy disks libraries, I still do with my S-1100. Wrong answer would be to ritually burn them...don't.

jbk ,

crunchy but old snack

lemmylommy ,

Sell them. There is a market for that.
