Today, I wrote some ruby code, learned a thing or two, and threw all the code away. Sometimes, the joy of programming leaves nothing to show for it.

I just did some quick math for no reason and figured that if Windows 10 was shipped on 3.5" 1.44 MB floppies, like Windows 3.1 was, the box would come with roughly 4,500 disks.

Imagine putting in disk 4,126 & discovering it was defective.

I remember back in about 1988, whenever I needed extra storage, I'd just go to the store & for about $12 pick up a box of floppy disks.

I just had that nostalgic feeling today, about 30 years later, because I need extra storage, & I just went to the store & for about $12 picked up a pair of micro-SD cards.

But the one package I bought today has more total capacity than 2,000 boxes back then.

@softgoat Thanks, now you've got *all* the Nova themes stuck in my head.

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz I went to windows.com/stopcode :

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz If you're able to get into Windows, the first step is seeing which update went office-space on it. I've had one or two break with a different error/symptom on each reboot/repair attempt.

WikiHow is an accidental treasure.
