CDs are too small, so yeah. DVDs on the other hand? Optical disks are the only practical media that is EMP-proof. After the apocalypse, I'll still have all my coding projects, thank you very much.

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

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

Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I still burn blu ray M-discs

What's burning a cd?

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.

I’m gonna burn a bunch of music to cd this week just because I can. Might even archive some movies.

High school kid: Burned a what?

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 burned a few last week

i sure was fucking hoping it was though

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

I have a whole cake of 100 blank DVDs unopened from 10 years ago. Been looking for a reason for them. Maybe make a post apocalyptic art piece.

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

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