Friendly reminder that the #shittycamerachallenge is up and running over at Bluesky again - this time with a #blackandwhite theme.

While they don't have the best quality, it's fun to play with these cameras, like this #photo taken with my #Sony #Mavica MVC-FD83, which records 0.9 MP pix on #FloppyDisc.

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.

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.

Frage an die Gemeinde.

Hat zufällig jmd Interesse an original verpackten 3.5" Disketten?
Ob die Dinger noch funktionieren, weiss ich natürlich nicht ... die dürften irgendwas zwischen 15 und 20 Jahre alt sein.
