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

Work with medical data in Germany and you'll burn CDs every day, probably for the next 50 years.

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

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

On work we accumulate a wealth of pesonal notes, forms, links, articles etc. We are strictly forbidden to use USB-Sticks, but the DVD-Burner are still working...

My last DVD was a Knoppix though, just for the fun of it.

CDs are geat, still burn them all the time. I have a Jellyfin server that hosts my digital music collection, but sometimes I may be going on a long drive without internet and CDs are unmatched for that. No battery, no internet requirement, and hold hundreds of hours of music in a a small book in my backseat.

I remember the day I burned my last CD. The fire department paid me a visit.

Mdisks are a viable offline long term backup solution, and cheaper to get started with than tape drives.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I was hoping for it tho.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable

I have a CD player in my 2004 car and I burn CDs regularly.

Burning cds of my punk band to sell

Encountering the first bunch of “I don’t own a cd player” people.

Cracking the music biz during the collapse of it was a bad idea.

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

[–] MeThisGuy 5 points 2 months ago

High school kid: Burned a what?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

i sure was fucking hoping it was though

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.

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.

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

I still burn blu ray M-discs

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

Never burned a CD in my life. And now I never will, just to spite you
