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.
What kind of floppies are you thinking of? the very little metal on those discs aren’t that reflective.
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.
Why would anyone bother making 1.4 MB diaks
- Pick some friends that you like
- Download “I Am Never Going To Give You Up” by Rick Roll
- Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
- Give the disks away as “fun, retro” drink coasters
- Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them
Make sure to use this version of the song
just in case someone sticks it in a working drive, add a file to the floppy named
autorun.inf
and add the following to it with a text editor:
[autorun]
open=Microsoft.Media.Player.exe
icon=icon.ico
while i doubt it will actually work, if it does, it would be quite hilarious in my opinion. there’s probably, hopefully, safeguards that prevent such a thing from working and i likely have the syntax wrong, i haven’t used windows in years.
I don’t think autorun worked with floppy disks, only with CDs and USB units.
I don’t think the OS was sophisticated enough to tell the difference… A drive letter is a drive letter…
I fuckin LOVE this!!! It’s absurd in the extreme and yet, so fuckin cool!
I humbly bow to your greatness of creativity.
Thanks! I was intending for it to be more of a shitpost, but I guess I’m not very good at those, it turns out
this…is a great idea!
Especially since I have friends who will go to some effort to find out what’s on the disk out of curiosity.
He had his run during the 80s. He’s enjoying a second wind with the Rick roll.
Coasters for a DnD night!
Sell them. There is a market for that.
