Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.

June 13th, 2022. 7:13pm. If that's the last one I burn, I will at least know when. It was Windows XP Media Center 2005, for my fleamarket Dell Demension E510. Well, more accurately, an E310 with a E510 motherboard.

I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.

There are plenty of people who never did that at all.

I still burn them sometimes for the car.

That's sad but true, man. Miss you "Car Rock VI".

I loved DVD-RAM. I could just mount them in Linux and copy backups on it. They are even reusable, like you could just delete a super old backup and put a new one on it. I think I stopped using them, because of capacity.

You can go burn a CD and know that it would be the last time. Not only is it not yet dead, it is still pretty widely used.

I miss lightscribe

I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

It was a CD rw and didn't actually work. The data wasn't there.

I literally have to do this for work so unless I lose this job it's gonna be another decade

I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

I'm not dead yet and have a Blu-ray burner and some blanks.

I burnt about 100 disks last year as an offsite, nuclear resistant backup... though, if nuclear war broke out, that would be the least of my worries

I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.

I was hoping for it tho.

I still use them (in M-DISC blu-ray form) for encrypted backups.
