My barely consumed blank cd tower somewhere in my basement agrees.

I still use them (in M-DISC blu-ray form) for encrypted backups.

June 13th, 2022. 7:13pm. If that's the last one I burn, I will at least know when. It was Windows XP Media Center 2005, for my fleamarket Dell Demension E510. Well, more accurately, an E310 with a E510 motherboard.

Joke's on you. I have multiple spindles of blank optical media I use regularly. I am not putting a ODE on my Saturn unless I absolutely have to.

There are plenty of people who never did that at all.

I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.

CDs are too small, so yeah. DVDs on the other hand? Optical disks are the only practical media that is EMP-proof. After the apocalypse, I'll still have all my coding projects, thank you very much.

They do degrade naturally, so I hope you are redoing this every decade or so

I still see blank CDs and DVDs for sale sometimes. Makes me wonder who is out there using them.

I literally have to do this for work so unless I lose this job it's gonna be another decade

I was hoping for it tho.

Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.

I'm going to go burn one for the last time just to subvert this meme.

I microwaved a few from 2008 last month. They smell of cancer if you do that though.

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

That's sad but true, man. Miss you "Car Rock VI".

I felt scammed for a split second recently because I bought a new laptop and it had no optical drives...

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 5 points 2 days ago
