I have a stack of Verbatim blanks I bought years ago just in case they ever stopped being sold; I’ve actually used quite a few to create daisy disks and audio CDs.

Who is going to keep making Minidiscs though?

Mine usually have the life span of 1 toddler encounter

I have like 3 pictures I actually care about anymore I'd be more than willing to delete the rest. My parents have always taken like at least a dozen pictures every time we "do something" and I always have to ask... Why drop everything you are doing for a picture that you will, in all likelihood, never look at again. I'd much rather just enjoy the moment tbh

lol I don't think you're the target demographic if you can't imagine any scenario of this having a good purpose to exist. It's apparently rated by the Department of Defense, definitely has some applications people are interested in. Hell, you could recoup costs on harddrive failures alone over your child's lifetime, just need a reader. Would be a pretty neat present to give someone as well filled like a photo album with personal media/ favorite games/ music/ whatever you want backed up for your kids. People spend a lot of money on multiple backup options so this is just another ace in your deck along with other safeguards.

Because in 20 years your memory will be lost. But you'll run across the photo and it will be incredible. It will both remind you and fill in the gaps that your memory lost.
I have all the best photos of my kids printed every year into a photo album. I don't trust digital despite having 3 copies. My 100 year azzo verbatim DVDs kept in black cases in the basement went bad after 10 years. Mdisc on paper should actually last 100 unlike azzo but I don't trust it either.

True, I'm no data hoarder. Just seems like it's a very small niche that this fits into. Never had a hard drive fail on me, but I'll give it a couple more decades lol

Ooo I see! That's awesome!
Yeah unfortunately we don't have hundred-years data on them lmao but at least it would still be interesting to see how examples of such disk go as years and decades go by
