Memes

I microwaved a few from 2008 last month. They smell of cancer if you do that though.

Work with medical data in Germany and you'll burn CDs every day, probably for the next 50 years.

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

CDs are geat, still burn them all the time. I have a Jellyfin server that hosts my digital music collection, but sometimes I may be going on a long drive without internet and CDs are unmatched for that. No battery, no internet requirement, and hold hundreds of hours of music in a a small book in my backseat.

What's burning a cd?

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.

Mdisks are a viable offline long term backup solution, and cheaper to get started with than tape drives.

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

I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.

Burning cds of my punk band to sell

Encountering the first bunch of “I don’t own a cd player” people.

Cracking the music biz during the collapse of it was a bad idea.

I have a CD player in my 2004 car and I burn CDs regularly.

I was hoping for it tho.

I remember the day I burned my last CD. The fire department paid me a visit.

A relative lately wanted me to burn an Audio CD on their Windows 10 PC. I had little to no idea how to do it, since last time I did that was on Windows XP.

Bullshit. Just two weeks ago I burned an audio CD as a gift for someone who enjoys listening in their car or on their player in the bathroom. Not everything needs to be always online streaming or has the ability to read SD cards or USB sticks.

Burning a FLAC and hearing on a HiFi system with nice cable headphones sounds so much better than a garbled compressed audio stream that gets recompressed to be send over Bluetooth.

High school kid: Burned a what?

There are plenty of people who never did that at all.

I burned a few last week

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.

Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable

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.

Never burned a CD in my life. And now I never will, just to spite you

I still burn blu ray M-discs
