I still store offsite backups on CD and DVD disks

Jokes on you, I've never burned a CD

I recently got a USB CD drive/burner. But I don't have blank CDs lol
I still burn blu ray M-discs
Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable
I still have an external burner and a stack of CDs, and multiple players including my old ass car. I also listen to tapes, vinyl, and regularly use my NES and VCR. Reject modernity, embrace tradition lmao.
