Make sure to name the file inconspicuously but temptingly, relating to the old days, like Bill Gates confession.mp3 or DJ Mike Llama - Llama Whippin’ Intro
while i doubt it will actually work, if it does, it would be quite hilarious in my opinion. there’s probably, hopefully, safeguards that prevent such a thing from working and i likely have the syntax wrong, i haven’t used windows in years.
There are USB headers, PCI(-E) slots, SATA and some older ones. To get storage devices working on each one you will need a different driver.
Windows disabled autorun for USB sticks before win10.
Also if you list the devices on Linux they will show up as sd(a, b, c…) for SSDs, hd(a, b, c…) for HDDs and nvmen(0,1,2…) for NVMe drives. So yes the OS must be able to differentiate.
Windows assigning letters is just weird IMO.
Also to my knowledge the floppy would show up as disk A on Windows.
this…is a great idea!
Especially since I have friends who will go to some effort to find out what’s on the disk out of curiosity.
Lol whoops, I meant to give a wrong answer, my bad

They make really good coasters, will recommend.

Poor Mr. Astley, forever known as Mr. Roll
He had his run during the 80s. He’s enjoying a second wind with the Rick roll.
It made me wanna listen to the rest of his music once I actually fully heard Never Gonna Give You Up
Make sure to use this version of the song
Floppy Disks - Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
just in case someone sticks it in a working drive, add a file to the floppy named
and add the following to it with a text editor:
[autorun] open=Microsoft.Media.Player.exe icon=icon.icowhile i doubt it will actually work, if it does, it would be quite hilarious in my opinion. there’s probably, hopefully, safeguards that prevent such a thing from working and i likely have the syntax wrong, i haven’t used windows in years.
I don’t think autorun worked with floppy disks, only with CDs and USB units.
I don’t think the OS was sophisticated enough to tell the difference… A drive letter is a drive letter…

Have I just experienced youngsplaining?
We use old floppies as coasters!
I have people all the time ask “these are so cute, where did you get them?”. RadioShack. 25 years ago.

I fuckin LOVE this!!! It’s absurd in the extreme and yet, so fuckin cool!
I humbly bow to your greatness of creativity.
Thanks! I was intending for it to be more of a shitpost, but I guess I’m not very good at those, it turns out
Nah it’s awesome. Like you can then tell them “Hah you’ve been rickrolled” haha.
