Back in my day we burned a lot of CDs…
Funny to think that the same number of drives would fit into maybe 1/4 of this height if made in the slim form factor.
Not having lived through it is fine; being unable to google a couple of words is just virtue signalling how lazy you are, especially considering this is probably coming from someone who’s glued to their phone all day.
Bruh it’s clearly meant to be a joke lmao
Calm down gramps
CDs nuts!
Got em.
I’m a school bus driver and I’m not even joking when I say I blew my kids’ minds with a burned CD the other day. My daughter asked me to make one of the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. One kid asked how I got it on CD and when I showed him a burned disc complete with sharpie label his response was just, “Wait you can do that?!”
Made me feel old as hell.
I’ve still got CDs I burned back in 08. Nowadays its blurays
There was a DVD in between you know
Yeah went there too, but all of those have not survived here
It would take less time to just search “burning cds” than even posting this.
Good ol alcohol 120%
have a stack of blanks. no cd drive. almost bought a usb burner but thumb drive is better. cds only hold like 600mb
Lol, consumerism.
Still burning cds and making tapes here. Nothing changed. You got sucked into consumer capitalism
Have you ever heard of something called a hard drive?
That’s like uphill, right?
No it’s at the computer store
That’s literally true. I was making a joke.
But is it figuratively true? (I was being stupid just for humor)
Are you manufacturing your own CDs and tapes, or are you buying them as a consumer?
Good job not being a consumer I guess.
True, but im also reusing a shit ton of stuff and not buying into the “i need new all the time I need the latest thing” I dont even hace a set of wireless headphones because they are A: stupid, and B: my 15 year old headphones work perfectly. My car is 13 years old and i do most repairs. Never had a new car.
You have headphones and a car? Disgusting consumer behavior, you just NEED to have the latest technology don’t you. I ride a horse and use my voice to sing if I want to listen to music.
I don’t even have a phone because they are A: stupid, and B: sending letters in the mail work perfectly. My horse is 13 years old and I do most reshoeing. Never had a new horse.
True true, you are a purist! Hahaha
“We used to mark them ‘summer mix’ and put them in a soft case full of them in the car, which was the style at the time”
Help me out here
Nero Burning Rom was a popular program for burning CDs
I used Nero. Is this person I’m supposed to be aware of in the picture named Nero or something?
I’m no lepidopterist, but from context I’d guess that it is indeed Nero.
A much maligned Roman emperor, Nero supposedly (but almost certainly not actually) haughtily played some instrument or the other during the Great Fire of Rome.
Hence, “burning a CD-ROM” is easily associated with him even though the story is almost certainly not true and “ROM” (read only memory) was the suffix of the CDs that COULDN’T be burned 🤷
I thought they studied butterflies?
They do, yes. I’m just doing a variant of the “I’m no geologist but (says things that have nothing to do with geology)” meme 😁
The best name for a piece of software I’ve ever read lol
Omfg I just got that 🤦
“Look grandpa, I found this box full of save icons in your old stuff”
