Friendly reminder that the #shittycamerachallenge is up and running over at Bluesky again - this time with a #blackandwhite theme.
While they don't have the best quality, it's fun to play with these cameras, like this #photo taken with my #Sony #Mavica MVC-FD83, which records 0.9 MP pix on #FloppyDisc.

Je vois parfois sur certains médias sociaux des conneries du genre « imaginez le nombre de disquettes requis pour installer Windows 11 », avec une image d’une disquette de 1,44 Mo étiquetée disquette 1 de N, 1,44 Mo.
Il faut savoir que les disquettes d’installation de Windows 95 et 98 étaient formatées en 1,7Mo. Les fichiers d’installation de Windows sur le CD-ROM des fichiers .CAB, numéroté séquentiellement, d’environ 1.63Mo.
The fact that there are people who use computers who have never used a floppy disk makes me feel old. [1]
[1] Never mind people who use computers who have never used a keyboard.

Frage an die Gemeinde.
Hat zufällig jmd Interesse an original verpackten 3.5" Disketten?
Ob die Dinger noch funktionieren, weiss ich natürlich nicht ... die dürften irgendwas zwischen 15 und 20 Jahre alt sein.

#ThrowbackThursday to when corporate video production could happily create gen locked video titles and subtitles from a program run from a floppy disc.
Why I've got this I don't know. #Amiga #retro #OldTech #FloppyDisc

This pic makes it look more like spring than it actually feels like here. The old tulips getting ready to open up. Taken with the vintage floppy disc based camera we found on waste ground in glorious 1.2 megapixels (not bad really.Even a hint of bokeh). Not the max possible resolution avilable but 6 images a disc is as practical as I can live with. #Mavica #FloppyDisc #VintageDigital #VintageDigitalCamera #SonyMavica #photography
If you're ever thirsty in Austin, Texas, drop by Floppy Disc Repair Co. located at 119th East Street. A code is required to gain access...
Their website is below.
At last an image from the 1.3MP Sony Mavica FD85 . Took me ages to find my old floppy drive (nothing is lost.Just hiding).
Here's a pic of a picture frame feat. our much missed cat giving us the look of usual max contempt and the legend "the difference between cats and dogs is that dogs come when called and cats take a message and get back to you".
The image in this frame was originally take on a Kodak 1.3MP DC240.

Gespräch in der Bahn: „Jerry, weißt du was eine Floppy Disc ist?“ „Nö.“.
Na, wer weiß es noch? Und was habt ihr damals dort gespeichert?
