    I still have a BD-RE drive in my current setup. It almost never sees any use, but it’s definitely nice to have the option should I ever require it.

    It’s easy for me to remember. I made a cute soundtrack for an anniversary. I miss that relationship sometimes, but I try to convince myself leaving helped me grow.

    Yep, it was the 10th time i was attempting to burn a clients files to DVD’s. I swore i was never going through that again. Then after i got a successful burn prompt, i went to hit ok and a fatal error had occured, and lo and behold the burn failed after verification. Joined the Navy within the week.

    I’ve kept my Blu-ray burner in service from the past few rebuilds, probably had it about a decade or so

    Though I’m not sure I’ve actually ever burned anything with it—used it to back up some old DVDs recently though

    This is Lemmy bruh. We still be burning discs on the reg.

    Seriously though, I still like to listen to CDs in my car. Something about making that perfect 20 song banger mixtape just hits different. And then slotting old CDs and having no idea what songs are on there but usually being pleasantly surprised. Spotify/Bluetooth is too easy and casual, I tend to pay more attention and enjoy the music more when listening to CDs.

      Man you ain’t lying about having random songs on them. I’m always equally impressed and disturbed by some of the CDs I’ve made in the past.

        My co-worker’s car was broken into while he was moving house. His cd collection was in the car and the only cd left was the one in the cd player. So we listened to who’s next by the who all summer. Nothing quite like coming back from a rave at 6 in the morning with baba O’Riley blasting. The soundtrack to a perfect wasted summer.

      I have a visor CD holder with a few burnt copies of albums I always enjoy. Yes my car has Bluetooth and yes I use it, but sometimes it’s just easier to pop in a CD. It’s also more legal, a couple of years ago a coworker got ticketed for distracted driving because the cop saw him switching albums on his phone while driving. I doubt you’ll get pulled over for swapping CDs.

    I didn’t really ever burn any CDs myself (though I have a few burnt ones). But just end of last year I ripped a CD

    Hah I knew it exactly. 2019 when my university required to hand in all (raw) data used for creating my thesis on a CD or DVD. I had to buy a new one of these things where you get like 50 disks stacked on a stick (to use 3 of them) and had to borrow my mom’s old laptop, because it was the only one available with a dvd drive. I knew it then and I’ve been right since then: This was the last time.

      I think for me it was before I moved counties and my disc was full so I put all my torrents on a couple DVDs. Early 2009.

    Well yeah but I also ate for the last time until I’ll eat again this evening, right?

    You can simply turn the last time into the not-last time at any point in the future
