"I used to be with it"
(lemmy.world)
Back in my day we burned a lot of CDs…
Funny to think that the same number of drives would fit into maybe 1/4 of this height if made in the slim form factor.
Not having lived through it is fine; being unable to google a couple of words is just virtue signalling how lazy you are, especially considering this is probably coming from someone who's glued to their phone all day.
Bruh it's clearly meant to be a joke lmao
Calm down gramps
Winamp! (Winamp!) Winamp! It really whips the lamma's ass!
;)
Yeah, it's probably best you maintain some distance from winamp, especially if it's been drinking.
This CD is not for your Stereo, it's for your Computer!
CDs nuts!
Got em.
I'm a school bus driver and I'm not even joking when I say I blew my kids' minds with a burned CD the other day. My daughter asked me to make one of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. One kid asked how I got it on CD and when I showed him a burned disc complete with sharpie label his response was just, "Wait you can do that?!"
Made me feel old as hell.
I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.
All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I'm amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.
I found that I still had two plastic tubes of DVD+Rs!
Linux has built-in in dvd burning and ripping tools that work amazingly. Been ripping all my ps1 and ps2 games.
FYI: unless you have a very specific model of CD drive, your PS1 backups aren't perfect copies. They will work but the copy protection might not have been read properly. It's not important in 99.9% of use cases. If you need a perfect copy, download NoIntro dumps.
Good info. Mine have been working well. But I still keep the hard copies I dont get rid of them. But yes disc rot is a thing though ive not experienced it

Well of course the first step is to tie an onion to your belt. You can't burn CDs if you're not stylish.
It would take less time to just search “burning cds” than even posting this.
I grew up with cassette tapes. I know what the connection is between a cassette and a biro....

Good ol alcohol 120%
Back in the day here in Finland we ordered bulk of cd/dvd r and rw’s from Åland Islands (autonomous region of Finland). They were cheaper thanks to taxes loophole. I still had 20 pcs of dvd’s from those days and burned them all to save some space on my pc.
Lol, consumerism.
Still burning cds and making tapes here. Nothing changed. You got sucked into consumer capitalism
Have you ever heard of something called a hard drive?
Are you manufacturing your own CDs and tapes, or are you buying them as a consumer?
Good job not being a consumer I guess.
True, but im also reusing a shit ton of stuff and not buying into the "i need new all the time I need the latest thing" I dont even hace a set of wireless headphones because they are A: stupid, and B: my 15 year old headphones work perfectly. My car is 13 years old and i do most repairs. Never had a new car.
You have headphones and a car? Disgusting consumer behavior, you just NEED to have the latest technology don't you. I ride a horse and use my voice to sing if I want to listen to music.
I don't even have a phone because they are A: stupid, and B: sending letters in the mail work perfectly. My horse is 13 years old and I do most reshoeing. Never had a new horse.
True true, you are a purist! Hahaha
have a stack of blanks. no cd drive. almost bought a usb burner but thumb drive is better. cds only hold like 600mb
And here's me planning my album release and obsessing over how much vinyl and CDs to order
Spoiler alert: it's next to none, but not cause I don't love'em or they're out of style, but cause I am broke
