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?

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

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 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.

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.I owned Win95 on floppy. That was a hell of an install. 11 disks?

Man you ain’t lying about having random songs on them. I’m always equally impressed and disturbed by some of the CDs I’ve made in the past.

Hah I knew it exactly. 2019 when my university required to hand in all (raw) data used for creating my thesis on a CD or DVD. I had to buy a new one of these things where you get like 50 disks stacked on a stick (to use 3 of them) and had to borrow my mom's old laptop, because it was the only one available with a dvd drive. I knew it then and I've been right since then: This was the last time.

I think for me it was before I moved counties and my disc was full so I put all my torrents on a couple DVDs. Early 2009.

I'm pretty sure I'm also done with USB sticks.

I don't have a serial data cable (or ports for one on my PC) so USB stick is the only way to get my .stl files to my 3D printer to actually print stuff.

Ok, I don't have a 3d printer. Yet.

I'm wasting untold amounts of optical media on trying to install a FOSS OS on an iMac G5. PPC64be is a pain in the ass nowadays

I still use them in my car. Car has no cd or cassette player. And can't afford to use cellular data to stream music from my phone
