🎉 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. 🙄

In 1985 Maxell built a bunch of life-size robots for its bad floppy ad

A rough start to what would later become one of my favorite tech ads from the 80s.

👴📼 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! 🦕💾

Some days ago I posted ( https://social.ichibi.eu/notice/B2I1aEuLaYW20dYOeG ) that one of the #disks on my #selfhosted #server 's #raid failed.
So, the new disks arrived and I'm going to document the journey! (Continues...)

🎮 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? 📼

Just noticed this..
In April this year I got a 12TB WD Red SATA drive for 294 €, which is now 519 €!

I think I'll delete some of my Linux ISOs instead of adding more HDD space to the array..

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.
