This is Lemmy bruh. We still be burning discs on the reg.
Seriously though, I still like to listen to CDs in my car. Something about making that perfect 20 song banger mixtape just hits different. And then slotting old CDs and having no idea what songs are on there but usually being pleasantly surprised. Spotify/Bluetooth is too easy and casual, I tend to pay more attention and enjoy the music more when listening to CDs.

I recently tried. Didn't work. Don't know if the disks were too old or the burner was toasted.
CDs are sometimes still the only way to put an OS on old gear.CDs are sometimes still the only way to put an OS on old gear.
Spoken like a person who doesn't own a floppy drive.

I'm just making a silly joke, of course, but I think there's enough temporal overlap between floppy drives and USB ports that it's accurate.

Since I have to deal with an older system that has not yet been replaced (and isn't slated to be for a variety of reasons), combined with some security requirements that the clients IT team had put into place...
I still have blank CDs and have burned them relatively recently. Probably will be doing so again in about 2 months....

I didn't really ever burn any CDs myself (though I have a few burnt ones). But just end of last year I ripped a CD

:::Remember when BIOSes weren't able to boot from CD-ROM so you needed a boot disk? Or was that just a windows problem?

CD, yes...
DVD? Man, I still keep recovery disks for repair jobs. Hiren's is still a thing.

If you haven't kept up, I'd recommend some of the "Ponies at Dawn" albums
Recollections was one of my favourites. Some absolute bangers on there
https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/recollections
Ignite starts off insanely strong as well
Brony music is legit! Heck even just the songs by Daniel Ingram are great stuff. I always liked Aurelleah and Jyc Row.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The first computer I ever used was a Macintosh 128k. It didn't have an OS. The OS was on a floppy that you had to have in to start the system. My dad bought two external floppy drives so that he could run more complex programs on the thing.

I shit my pants once when I was 32, I did not know that wouldn't be the last time.

I've written to a CD last year.
Holy hell

Nero burning ROM
That wouls be suitable for nostalgia's sake, but I'll probably go for xfburn or whatever that name was

I don't know when it was specifically, but I know it was to make a music CD for my old car that could play MP3s off of CDs. 15 years ago, maybe?

It might not be.

Until you find a reason to do it again. I burned a cd like last year because my car has a cd player.

Nah - CD’s are great.
Everyone should be burning Parenti lectures and leaving them in public spaces. Very fun past time.

I have a visor CD holder with a few burnt copies of albums I always enjoy. Yes my car has Bluetooth and yes I use it, but sometimes it's just easier to pop in a CD. It's also more legal, a couple of years ago a coworker got ticketed for distracted driving because the cop saw him switching albums on his phone while driving. I doubt you'll get pulled over for swapping CDs.
