I literally have to do this for work so unless I lose this job it's gonna be another decade

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.

Last time I saw this template it was "Someday your parent will carry you in their arm for the last time and neither of you will know it was the last time."

😭

I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.

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.

I was hoping for it tho.

Jokes on you, I've never burned a CD

I still burn them sometimes for the car.

I loved DVD-RAM. I could just mount them in Linux and copy backups on it. They are even reusable, like you could just delete a super old backup and put a new one on it. I think I stopped using them, because of capacity.

I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

I miss lightscribe

I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

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

I still use them (in M-DISC blu-ray form) for encrypted backups.

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