I dont own a sony or any other console but i dont understand one thing here.
As far as i know, dvd discs and cd-s had about 4GB memory max if am not mistaking. It was long time since we stoped using them.
So how can modern games that are like 200GB in size fit on any cd..? 🤔
UHD Blu-rays go up to 100GB so that covers many games, for more than that it'd have to be a digital download I guess
The PlayStation 3 was the first console to use (standard) Blu-rays, 20 years ago :) some people argued it was cheaper than dedicated BD players, many used it to watch movies.
We used to deal with games that came as multiple discs. We can do that again, if we have to.
But, I would personally rather see DRM-free digital downloads for many reasons.
That's just triple layer. Quad layer goes up to 128GB.
It would also seem people have forgotten the Installation disc that was common towards the end of the 360 era. The PS3 already copied the whole Blu-ray to storage with the only real difference being it was quicker to copy physical than to rely on PSN's awful bandwidth. A lot of people still have crappy imternet so it makes no sense to take away the option to wait a day for a box with 2 discs to arrive.
New computers don't even take cd's anymore. They are shit compared to computers 15 years ago. Less ports, task manager doesn't work, it's more awkward to do anything as they made everything less functional.
You can't take the battery out anymore. If your computer gets compromised you are supposed to just let them spy on you I suppose, task manager is now worthless for sussing out and stopping malware.
I use desktop pc and linux on it, so am pretty satisfied with it.
Sounds like you’re on the cusp of leaving Windows. Excellent.
I recommend Mint.
These are all issues that can be fixed with a framework laptop running Linux. I'd recommend the switch to one or both of these things :)
Where are you putting a cd drive in a framework?
Valid point. I was talking more about the ports. Still tho usb cd drives are incredibly cheap and damn reliable.
