minus-squarepelya@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·3 天前 That corner cutout is grossly exagerrated. In the actual floppy disk (which is also not floppy anymore) the cutout is tiny.
minus-squareozymandias117@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·3 天前It’s grossly exaggerated because it was designed when we had UX designers It has to look okay all the way down to 8x8 pixels
minus-squarepelya@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-23 天前Justice for the 5.25" floppy disk! It had an actual hole inside, which would fit your finger! You could see it’s a disk and not a weird shaped square box, and you could hear it’s rotating.
minus-squareozymandias117@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 天前Ah, if you’re saying it should have been designed based off 5.25" I’m down :)
minus-squareadarza@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 天前back in the ol’ 8bit commodore days, we had one of these gadgets so we could flip 'em over and use the other side
minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 天前good ol capitalism, it’s cheaper to just make all discs double sided and market some as single sided and the others as double for more price …
minus-squarerunner_g@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 天前the disk is still floppy, it just has a hard outer shell for protection.
