#fileformat Friday! Fresh Flux Fun with SCP. #digipres #floppydisks #obsolete_technology https://preservation.tylerthorsted.com/2025/06/27/scp/

Ah, yes, the "plight" of our silicon friends. 🤖💔 Apparently, Macs are now the digital equivalent of endangered species, falling prey to terrifying "epidemics" like leaky capacitors and rebellious solder. 🙄 Next up: an exposé on the tragic extinction of floppy disks. 📎💾

Branche fordert Wandel 💬 Gewerkschaften, Hersteller und Initiativen wie Modern Skies drängen seit Langem auf die #Modernisierung.

Nostalgie trifft Realität 💾 #FloppyDisks und #Windows95 sind vielerorts noch im Einsatz, da #Kosten und #Regularien Umstellungen erschweren.

Die US Flugsicherung ersetzt Windows 95 und Floppy Disks.

Modernisierung der Flugsicherung ✈️ Die #US-#Flugsicherungsbehörde #FAA ersetzt endlich #FloppyDisks und #Windows95 durch moderne Technik.

#Sicherheitsrisiko Alt-Systeme ⚠️ Über ein Drittel der alten Systeme gilt als nicht mehr tragbar, viele zeigen bereits Ausfälle.

Riesige Herausforderung 🏗️ Die Erneuerung ist teuer, technisch anspruchsvoll und sicherheitskritisch, soll aber in vier Jahren abgeschlossen sein. (1/2)

#FAA is replacing air traffic control systems, including #floppydisks and #Windows95: estimated to cost tens of billions and take four years, aims to improve safety and security. https://www.techspot.com/news/108229-faa-finally-replacing-floppy-disks-windows-95-air.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Oh no, the kids have absolutely no idea how #FloppyDisks work on so many different levels.

@gumnos Whoa, I have some too! Take these from the university dumpster a long time ago😃

Ah, the classic tale of AI apocalypse foretold by human prophets who once thought floppy disks were cutting-edge 🖥️. "The Collapse of GPT"—yet somehow, it seems the only thing collapsing is the author's ability to grasp what year it is. 💾🙃

🎉🤖 Oh joy! A magazine resurrected after 35 years to remind us of the days when computers were beige boxes and floppy disks roamed the Earth. Get ready for cutting-edge articles about the Atari 800XL and maybe a thrilling piece on the resurgence of dot matrix printers. 📟😆

Which way up do you position your 3½ inch floppies for labeling and storage?

Lordy spring has sprung, look what turns up in a bit of spring cleaning #VintageComputing #FloppyDisks #shareware

Slow copying some files to an old laptop and decided to make some labels for my general use #floppydisks

I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)

It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.

I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.

Will post some pics when it's all setup.

🚀 Oh joy, another "soft launch" of digital archaeology where we can all bask in the glory of 1997's #CDROM "innovation"—just what the world needed! 🤦‍♂️ Let's all pretend we're excited to sift through 5.5GB of ancient MacFormat cover discs, because who doesn't want to relive the glory days of dial-up and floppy disks? 📀✨
