I’ve still got CDs I burned back in 08. Nowadays its blurays
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.
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.
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.
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!
It would take less time to just search “burning cds” than even posting this.
Help me out here
“We used to mark them ‘summer mix’ and put them in a soft case full of them in the car, which was the style at the time”
You would change your disc at a red light, as tradition tells
I did it at 80 for style points
CDs nuts!
Got em.
“Look grandpa, I found this box full of save icons in your old stuff”
And omg soo much retro porn which is now banned in the us
Did anyone ever have a Lightscribe burner? I always wanted one. It seemed pretty dope being able to etch a label onto the disc with the same device that wrote data to it.
Yes. It was neat, but actually sucked because the contrast was so low. Switched back to Sharpie after a few
Good ol alcohol 120%
I burned a CD just a few days ago.
I just punched a card yesterday.
I inscribed a clay tablet just this morning
It’s about that scumbag Ea-nāṣir, isn’t it?
His copper is subpar.
I recited a saga an hour ago
Why? What did the card ever do to deserve that?
It was a nasty piece of card.
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
