I burnt about 100 disks last year as an offsite, nuclear resistant backup... though, if nuclear war broke out, that would be the least of my worries
I just burned one today, it was the easiest way to transfer a game to a Windows 95 notebook. 🫠

I still store offsite backups on CD and DVD disks
Jokes on you, I still burn my acquired digital media to BluRay discs
Disk rot is like 25 years while an SSD still doesn't have that kind of shelf life
Right post there chief
Who are these mad men who are dumping stuff to SSDs and then sitting them on a shelf? Can't get my mind around it.
Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.
It was a CD rw and didn't actually work. The data wasn't there.
Unless I die tomorrow, you're wrong.
I still have a big stack of blank CDs and DVDs. I burned a DVD late last year. I don't think I've hit my last time yet. But maybe.
That's sad but true, man. Miss you "Car Rock VI".
I do the opposite now. I buy discs cheap from bin stores, rip them onto my desktop and then upload to my home library for more affordable 'streaming'.
i burned a cd 2 weeks ago.
Ok, boomer
unneccessarily rude!
They might be just genX.
millennial. turned 40 this year.
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.
I burn Blu-rays once in a while. They work for backup.
They don't last very long. About 5-10 years at most, and that's if you bought special archival burnable DVDs. If you depend on them for backups, you should check the integrity annually (always include a checksum like SHA256 with any backup archive).
I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.
I still burn CDs. This whole streaming thing won't last. Also, my back hurts...
The real meta is to have a hard drive full of flac files and use tailscale to stream them wherever you are from your computer at home
Plexamp is also good for this
I literally have to do this for work so unless I lose this job it's gonna be another decade
I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.
If we include DVDs I probably put a Linux distro iso on one in 2010 or 2011. CDs? Maybe a CD I made for a road trip on 2009 or 2010.
