I still burn DVDs. Ever since USB storage was deemed “not secure”, they are the easiest way to get data into and out of sensitive networks.

It’s true.
Nothing is permanent, everything is transient. Enthropy comes for us all.
I felt scammed for a split second recently because I bought a new laptop and it had no optical drives…
the scam you bought was windows

I have a whole cake of 100 blank DVDs unopened from 10 years ago. Been looking for a reason for them. Maybe make a post apocalyptic art piece.
You could cut them into throwing stars. Or maybe take them to the nearest disc golf course.
I’m going to go burn one for the last time just to subvert this meme.
Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.
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.
I don’t burn CDs, I buy music on CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.
I’m curious. Why not just torrent?
Tbh I don’t know. I torrented lots of stuff as a kid (including music on Soulseek), but now I feel like paying for stuff. I know, weird. I suppose when I do buy music on the internet I want to support the artists. Paying for used CDs is just whatever, they’re cheap.
You should checkout the public library.
For music CDs? I dunno bout that (see comment above). I do borrow books a lot, if that counts.
All of my local libraries have cds and dvds to borrow.
I burned two DVDs yesterday. First time in almost a decade, but it made me wonder why I don’t do it more often. I still have 98 blank DVDs on a spool purchased years ago.
Be aware certain batches of blanks are more prone to bit rot (or more accurately degradation of the metal layer) than others - could be worth googling your blanks before using them for anything important
That’s sad but true, man. Miss you “Car Rock VI”.

No way crazyyyy this generalization didn’t apply to SOMEONE on the internet. no wayyyyyy
You know 4chan is back online, right?
LMAO that just sent me
Yeah you should head back.
I didn’t know it was the last time, and I don’t know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:
A Linux install CD
Haha same. Honestly I think that was the only reason I ever burned CDs.
There are plenty of people who never did that at all.
You know, I wish I could remember what it was, there’s something a little sad about it being the last one and me not even remembering what was on it. I think I would have burned what will likely be my last ever DVD quite a lot more recently, probably about 2018 or 2019, but CD, that’s a way’s back.
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.
CDs and DVDs are the same size? (/s)
Youll have all your coding projects, but nothing to read them with.
They do degrade naturally, so I hope you are redoing this every decade or so
A relative lately wanted me to burn an Audio CD on their Windows 10 PC. I had little to no idea how to do it, since last time I did that was on Windows XP.
Download ImgBurn or CD Burner XP
Nero or bust
Nero cost money tho
It’s easy, you just have to sign up for Microsoft’s CD burning app for $6.99/month. Make sure to have your credit card, social security number, and birth certificate handy when you setup your account. You just have to watch a short advertisement before burning each CD.
Just don’t use the free version…
“But I would walk five hun- THIS TRACK WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MICROSOFT WINDOWS 11. NOW WITH AI CO-PILOT ASSISTANCE TO GET YOUR WORK DONE QUICKER THAN EVER BEFORE -dred miles, and I would walk five hundred more, just to be the man who NEED ANSWERS FAST? BING IS NOW BETTER THAN EVER WITH BUILT IN AI FUNCTIONALITY. TRY IT OUT TODAY walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door.”
Oh my God that’s evil. Better hope the Microsoft execs don’t see this.
