I wonder what "limited lifetime warranty" means.
open it in a non-destructive manner, switch every read/write lock slider, put it back together.
Buy a USB floppy drive for each one and then create a RAID 0 disk array. It'll be super quick and gloriously noisy.
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.
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.
manually etch the bits yourself. Just use a hammer and chisel
Gift them as cup coasters.
Insert them into your urethra!
Insert them into John McAfee's urethra!
Anus... Right into the anus...
Go play a very public and dramatic round of disc golf
don't run Doom with them
DO IT, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
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.
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.
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!
Sue the maker for false advertising. 1.44MB is clearly not High Density.
Be wild! Copy that floppy!
Glue two on top of your flip flops. You now unlocked the floppy flip flops
Boof them. Don't think about it, just boof em.
