I might have CDs and CD-ROMs I burned 20 years that are still good, meanwhile some webpages and websites have gone away.
Never have, I didn’t get into Linux ISOs until they needed a DVD for capacity anyway and then shortly after I moved onto USB booting.
You’ll go without doing something for decades, then one day the old knowledge is needed again and you get to dust off those memories.
Pen for scale?
I literally burned a copy of xp pro retail onto one of these exact discs last week. The old disc was also a Sony, but it was off centre and would vibrate the shit outta the drive and not read properly.
Funny that genA, or maybe genZ even, doesn’t understand what “burn” a cd is. They might think we set them on fire or smt…
speak of CDS (and optical media/physical media?) Fun fact: there are still Video games/Music (even as new as 2025 and soon 2026) distributed in CDS,DVDS and vinyl.
so optical media/physical media are not Dying anytime soon.
(unless you count Blu-rays/Cartridges too,but its only mainly used as a download script on consoles though)Couldn’t be more happier than when I knew those awful things would become obsolete
I have never burned a cd
My old car has a cd drive and really good speakers, and I have an old Linux computer with a cd/dvd drive, and cds are really cheap, and I pirate music, so the last time I burnt a cd was yesterday, and not out of novelty but because its the only way I can listen to music in the car.
I will probably burn another cd in the future, but ig you never know, lmao.
If your car has an aux you could use Bluetooth to aux. But yeah a lot of old cars don’t. Mine didn’t so I was in the same situation as you for many years burning CDs! They could be MP3 CDs though, very fancy ;P
Not as often CDs but I burn enough DVDs, dual layer DVDs, and Blu-ray disks that I have to purchase 25-100 count spindles multiple times a year.
It was porn. Shameful, unexplainable porn.
I didnt destroy it either it just went in a bin somewhere after my last big move. I wish I could see the face of whichever future hobby tech-archeologist finds it.
7 or 8 years ago. Backing up the document folder on the computer.
The last CD I burned was when the last Tool album got leaked.
I’m pretty sure that I called it “Beer Drinkin’ & Poker Playin’ Vol II”
