It’s a little known fact that early versions of Sony’s revolutionary 3.5” floppy drive were bulky top loading units.

You ever have one of those days where you discover that work's u-matic deck is dead, and you're gonna have to lug yours out of storage just to play a u-matic tape?

Does that happen to anyone else?

@foone The last time something even close to that happened to me was 1988.

@foone I think you live fully.

Most of us use cars in the last decade, houses from the last 50, clothes from the last 5, computers from the last 3, food from the last year.

But some of us are dedicated enough to pick through it all. Consciously and fully.

(more earnest than I expected to be on a friday morning tbh. Except maybe the food thing. But if I could get ETA Ripples here easily again I would...)

@foone Yes! Someone with more smarts might be able to pick a better value. or tolerance. It's a workday quickie.

@foone a very worthwhile effort. If I’d had a little mor organisational ability at the time I took that pic I’d have moved the NAS and MacBook out of the way, too - and maybe jammed a few more old magazines in.

Due to absolutely contrived and unavoidable reasons that could be any conceptual macguffin, it is completely mandatory for you to change your last name.

What's the coolest you'd pick?

@foone You're part of the inspiration for cool last name club, but you can go berko with another if you like!

I've been trying to google/amazon this and having basically no results, so I'm asking here in case anyone knows:

I need graph paper. Specifically I need LARGE graph paper. Like, not an A4 sheet, I need A1-A0 (24/33" or 33x46").
4x4 per inch, or 5x5 per inch grid spaces. I basically need a graph paper with a TON of squares, and I'm not finding it.

@foone If you can find a print shop specifically with a plan printer, they might do the trick. They're still out there, and they're often giant A1 width laser drums. They'll spit one out in seconds from a hardcopy, or a PDF.

Printers that service architectural places would have them. Modern ones are inkjets and a bit slower, but still doable.

@foone as a quicktake owner I have seen precisely one of them ever and it is treated like gold.

But it’d be funny to print in it too.

5.25" vs 5.5" floppy disks.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

NanoRaptor OP ,
@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social avatar

@foone I’ve heard if you heat a 5.25” and put it in a CD-ROM at 52x it’ll stretch to 5.5. It’s gotta be truth.

I don't like to make a constant huge deal of it because the world concentrates too much on numbers and the baggage around them, and constant running totals are probably bad all up, but this morning I hit a 30kg weight loss.

Left, September 2023. Right, today. Also yes I am fifty something and my mother bought me a bun hoodie.

A photo of a nanoraptor looking a little bit more nano and a little less raptor too. Also I'm wearing a pink bun hoodie.

@foone That is precisely the description of my three powerbook G3s, one of which was the original photo for that one.
