Without us realising, Nero burned Rom 😥
WOAH is this why it was called Nero??
Yes. Their logo is a burning colosseum
:O I always thought it was a funky looking cd lol
From what I recall, yeah :)
Today was the day I finally understood the name of that software.
Well now I’m gonna burn one of my RW disks just to make this wrong.
Where’s your rewritable God now?
What if I know it’s my last time as well? Checkmate
-
Burn “Summer Jamz '98” mix CD.
-
Pick up revolver.

What if you get dementia and forget about that time in particular?
It was a Linux ISO
It was a Tails ISO 😅
Because after switching to Linux your CD drive stopped working due to a lack of drivers?
I know you are trying to be funny, but cd drives have been working fine since literally forever under Linux.
Yeah I was just making the classic liNUx nO WoRK joke
I remember having a big stack of discs with tons of random ISOs burned onto them. I don’t actually know where that stack went to be honest
A few months ago I started moving most of my audio media over to CDs. I don’t trust streaming services to maintain extensive libraries and/or continue to exist.
We’re already seeing video streaming services remove content from their platforms despite having the rights to it.
I doubt that Spotify or Apple Music won’t do the same in the near future.

Because my parents had a CD burner and a tower of blank CD-RWs they let me take from their place. Also, doesn’t need an internet connection for me to accesses them when I’m not at home.
I’d say local storage but phone manufacturers took out the fucking SD card slot.
Ain’t it weird how they keep taking out an important feature right before promoting a new service or product that makes it easier to live without it.
“Why would you need headphone jack when Bluetooth auto connecting earphones”
“Why would you need swappable/expandable storage when media streaming and cloud storage?”
Resilience to ransomware attacks and electrical faults.
Also we’re not Elon Musk, who thinks physical media is old technology needs replacement.

Spotify has already removed Toxicity by System of a Down.It’s back again. :s
Seeing as I have lots of computers that won’t boot from usb, no
We’re becoming a rare breed.
Old ones I presume? I have a habit of hoarding old computers too. What do you have?
Rough list of the interesting ones:
- IBM RS/6000 Model 250
- Compaq AlphaServer DS10
- 3x Apple iBook G3
- 2x IBM ThinkPad A31
- Panasonic ToughBook CF-28
- And then like a billion more less memorable ones
Nice. I’ve got my old desktop from 2009 I just threw EndeviorOS on last night
That was… two days ago.
And when was the last time you dubbed a compact cassette? (For me it was 2 hours ago)
Why do you use cassettes?
They feel nice in the hand and sound good. Also it’s fun mixing them, designing jcards and labels.
Whenever I get my cassette player to work again. I have to replace a gear, and I do have the replacement gear, but it’s turning out to be harder than expected. Luckily the manufacturer put a diagram of all bits and bobs with numbers and how they fit together in the device manual. It’s like a very complicated puzzle
I think it’s pretty cool that they have user and service manuals. So you can actually fix it by yourself when you have the parts and tools to do so.
Yeah exactly. But those must’ve been hard times for the shareholders. How can those poor hardworking shareholders ever earn money if you don’t buy new e-waste every 2 years?
3D printing is also awesome. For this respective model there were already 3D models available for the gear that broke in mine. I don’t have a printer, but I was still easily able to order a 3D printed replacement gear
Black metal or folk punk?
Yes.

What is it called when you rip a disc under the covers? Is it still called a dutch oven?
Same, right in public. I blame the Mexican food.
It doesn’t have to be the last time.
*will
And have few days ago. I like spinny media.
Oh, I also have a half destroyed portable CD player (previous battery leak, damaged screen, broken stop button) that can even play mixed mode CD with MP3 files. That means I can combine lossy and lossless on the same disc. It can even shuffle between the 2 parts, albeit with a slight delay.
To quote Mr. Bringus Studios: “Optical media bad.”
I did back up all my discs though, physical media backups are awesome.
Unless I die in the next month, I plan on burning more CDs. Added a bunch of new albums to my MP3 player a few months ago
I think you’re using burn when you mean rip.
Why are you still burning CDs?

Because of the fidelity, that’s not a thing with burnt discs…
deleted by creator
Yes because your BURNT cd hasn’t had a few steps to degrade the quality… a bought cd would be better than a BURNT cd.
deleted by creator
A BURNT cd isn’t lossless so that’s just plain false mate….
Bloviate about whatever, but dude asked about burning a cd, you made a comment about vinyl which can be lossless, while a BURNT cd never will. A bought cd yes, as I did already clarify.
ngl i feel safer digging through CDs while driving than digging through a music library on some phone touchscreen. probably if i learned to use voice controls i’d feel better about the phone but i’m at that age where i’m comfortable enough with my ways that i’d rather not have to change them.
Voice controls are worse and more frustrating still.
My LightScribe drive was the best investment of 2011
Oh man I forgot about LightScribe! I remember being like 10 and working my butt off for a summer to be able to afford one. Good times
Pretty sure I still have some media for mine here even. Software might be a hunt to find where it got stored at though.
I actually do know when my last disc was burned (it was a DVD though–)
One of my video prod professors demanded we turn in our group assignments in DVD format
… This was in 2018
I was the only person in the entire class that even had a DVD burner. Everyone pooled together to buy a spindle and a Disc Marker and I spent all afternoon burning everyone’s DVDs
