see how many of them it takes to hold a single 4K image
That's just over 8MP.
You could easily store a 4K Image on a floppy in half-way decent quality, two with visible jpeg artifacts.
Buy a USB floppy drive for each one and then create a RAID 0 disk array. It'll be super quick and gloriously noisy.
Unwrap them and open it and then put them all back so they look used. Write on the box in sharpie "Backups 1/127". Delete the critical production system at your work. When someone asks where the backups are, hand them these.
Insert them into your urethra!
Insert them into John McAfee's urethra!
Gift them as cup coasters.
manually etch the bits yourself. Just use a hammer and chisel
Anus... Right into the anus...
Inserting your floppy is a time honored tradition. Have a few too many beers, and give it a go. You have 10 chances to succeed, it seems.
don't run Doom with them
DO IT, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
Go play a very public and dramatic round of disc golf
Throw them at junior sysadmins like shuriken.
Butt stuff.
Use them to make a bootleg copy of Duke Nukem to share with your friends. That's what we used to do with them lol
It says they're high density, so use them as ammo for your rail gun
Fuck being incorrect. Buy an old AKAI sampler and make music from floppy disks libraries, I still do with my S-1100. Wrong answer would be to ritually burn them...don't.
Sue the maker for false advertising. 1.44MB is clearly not High Density.
crunchy but old snack
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.
TDK's revenue has been increasing steadily at least starting from 2010. When was the last time you bought a TDK product?
Finally update device drivers in Windows the right way!
Be wild! Copy that floppy!
Boof them. Don't think about it, just boof em.
Glue two on top of your flip flops. You now unlocked the floppy flip flops
