Woolsey! We need a stargate community :D
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Look it’s the EMH… Err ummm. ❤️❤️❤️
The most important 1.44 MB you can imagine.
what are all these old memes doing with save icons? /s
SAVING THE WORLD
Shredder had a zip disk
He would
Who said they still cant?
They can, actually… Many nuclear bases in the US use floppy disks for code to reduce the risk of a cyberattack and because upgrading that intricate of a system is prohibitively expensive for how little good it would do.
private keys fit in a floppy disk, and their use range includes ransomware decryption and identity verification. In Mr. Robot, all 9-M could’ve been undone with a floppy.
Who would win? Thirty years of US security and tech, or one magnet boi?
It’s not the disks it’s what’s ON the disks
Supposedly on the disks. The files were saved, but did the FAT table eat itself was the question. 😂
FAT table eat itself
heh
That is the table upon which you place the file allocation table. It’s tables all the way down, baby!
And they always act as if there’s no way it could have been copied and exist somewhere else.
But my dude… Diskettes had Copy Protection! /s
Yeah! The little plastic slider you moved up and down.
On commerical disks those are fixed on the frame (but can be flexed/cut away of course)
…and they only protect the data on the disk from being changed, you can still copy it. Otherwise the disk would be unreadable.
Also known as write-protection.
Well, often it was a game of super spy keepaway and no one ever made it to a computer or had the code or the data was to save a good guy or whatever
An embarrassing snapshot of spongebob at the Christmas party?
Well considering most code is under a megabyte it makes sense
Nowadays it’s microSD cards.
I mean, microSD makes for much more interesting drama. You can hide it in the lining of a suit, sew it underneath the skin, hide it in a ball point pen, in your pet. MicroSd drama is much more sneaky.
Nah. Nuclear launch sites just retired 8" floppies required for launch verification like maybe 5 years ago.

A simple command line in AutoGPT can be enough, as proven with ChaosGPT. But I am more afraid of human stupidity than of AI, it is this that is going to destroy us.
If AI destroys us, it will be a result of human stupidity.

Remember a Decepticon that transformed into a cassette?
Poor Soundwave, he and his minions are obsolete! Maybe they can get upgrades so he transforms into an MP3 player and they transform into SD cards.
There is already an actual flash drive version of Ravage.
Leading to intergalactic war accidentally started by DankPods.
Soundwave was prepared for humans to be hostile to his kind.
He hadn’t counted on the 1 grit.
To say nothing of his new rival, Scarlet Fire.
Gotta be at some very specific places to fool people with that in 2023
It’s a goober
My first porn was on floppy disk
3.5", 5.25" or the monster 8" is the question…
5.25 inches but the disk was smaller
My first porn was probably NNTP (newsgroups) before I even had the actual WWW. Had to learn how to stitch images together from multiple posts in the early-mid '90s.
4chan… I rolled the fucking dice and lost I guess.
Forté Agent was a blessing
I thought the name sounded super familiar, but I had to look it up. My dad was into BBS and CompuServ in the '80s. He eventually got AOL, which is where I got started with NNTP. I really need to get his history on these things. I know that, when I was super young in the early '80s when they divorced, he was often spending a lot of time online. I’d really like to know more about that era as my memories are scattered and fractured.
UUE decoding!
Shredder and Usagi seem to be holding Zip discs rather than floppy discs. I have no idea what Ripster is holding.
In fact, Lexington seems to be the only one with a floppy disc here
Yeah that was the episode where shredder had some software that could create holographic clones of people. But Bebop and Rocksteady fucked up and caused the machine to make Shredder behave like Michaelangelo.
They are truly iconic.
Climate change increased drastically since the era of floppy disks, coincidence!?
