It was a Linux ISO
I remember having a big stack of discs with tons of random ISOs burned onto them. I don’t actually know where that stack went to be honest
It was a Tails ISO 😅
Because after switching to Linux your CD drive stopped working due to a lack of drivers?
I know you are trying to be funny, but cd drives have been working fine since literally forever under Linux.
Yeah I was just making the classic liNUx nO WoRK joke
ngl i feel safer digging through CDs while driving than digging through a music library on some phone touchscreen. probably if i learned to use voice controls i’d feel better about the phone but i’m at that age where i’m comfortable enough with my ways that i’d rather not have to change them.
Voice controls are worse and more frustrating still.
I still burn CDs for my dad all the time, (I also have a few of them for myself too) since our cars have CD players in them, and while I usually play Music through the Aux it’s good to have CDs for when there’s spotty connection and nothing good on the Radio.
Also still use CDs for my car! CDs just feel like the right solution to local music, sometimes I just want to keep my phone in my pocket (or not on me at all) and drive. USB drives feel too easy to lose
It was today.
I still have my old DVD burner, which I only plan to upgrade to a BD drive once I get the money for it.
Getting rid of physical media because cloud drives, steam, netflix, etc. is like amputating your legs because cars and motorized wheelchairs.
There’s like a 95% one of the last CDs I burned was a The Prodigy album. I was super into them the last time I had a computer with a burner installed and I can’t think of anything else I would have burned during that time. It’s possible it was a cracked version of office or something.
*will
And have few days ago. I like spinny media.
Oh, I also have a half destroyed portable CD player (previous battery leak, damaged screen, broken stop button) that can even play mixed mode CD with MP3 files. That means I can combine lossy and lossless on the same disc. It can even shuffle between the 2 parts, albeit with a slight delay.
Never lol.
It doesn’t have to be the last time.
That was… two days ago.
I still do burn CDs but it is much less common. Mostly just for retro computers which use CD-ROM. I burn DVDs slightly more often since you can fit larger ISOs on them and they’re more durable (seriously, CDs are so fragile it isn’t even funny, their data layer is completely unprotected, just a thin film on the top).
I wish. I have to burn some media every few months for work. Sometimes CDs, sometimes dual layer DVDs.
Well now I’m gonna burn one of my RW disks just to make this wrong.
Where’s your rewritable God now?
What if I know it’s my last time as well? Checkmate
-
Burn “Summer Jamz '98” mix CD.

Pick up revolver.

What if you get dementia and forget about that time in particular?
laughs in gen z
(I’ve ripped cds, but never burned one)
I’m also gen z, and the last CD I burned was last year a debian install CD for a computer that couldn’t boot off of USB
Seeing as I have lots of computers that won’t boot from usb, no
Old ones I presume? I have a habit of hoarding old computers too. What do you have?
Rough list of the interesting ones:
- IBM RS/6000 Model 250
- Compaq AlphaServer DS10
- 3x Apple iBook G3
- 2x IBM ThinkPad A31
- Panasonic ToughBook CF-28
- And then like a billion more less memorable ones
Nice. I’ve got my old desktop from 2009 I just threw EndeviorOS on last night
We’re becoming a rare breed.
