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.

I still burn DVDs. Ever since USB storage was deemed "not secure", they are the easiest way to get data into and out of sensitive networks.
I learned not too long ago that SSDs lose data if they don't get keep getting power... Not sure how true that is, but if true, pretty awful.
It's true.

I have a whole cake of 100 blank DVDs unopened from 10 years ago. Been looking for a reason for them. Maybe make a post apocalyptic art piece.

I was just thinking "I need to burn some music CDs for when I travel", just in case.
I went on a car trip earlier this year, but forgot my bluetooth to aux adapter. I tried to buy one while I was on the road, but places were sold out, didn't carry them, or they only sold them via online orders.
As luck would have it, I still had some old CDs I'd burned 20ish years ago sitting in my glove compartment! I honestly did not expect them to work because they'd likely spent at least the last decade+ in that glove compartment, enduring extremes of heat and cold. They were scratched to hell and back and I had always heard that they degrade and become unreadable after a certain amount of time, even under ideal storage conditions.
Luckily for me, though, they mostly worked. I think there were a couple of songs on one disc that skipped a bunch, and everything else played fine. I rediscovered a few great songs from my youth that I'd not heard in so long that I'd practically forgotten about them.
My gen Z kids burn CDs - it's a "retro" thing for them. Literally burnt one last week.
I burned an Active Shooter video for work last week. I got a lot of spare discs. Might be a good way to store copies of everything the fascists are deleting.
I knew. I had been meaning to buy an aftermarket car stereo with USB and MP3 support for a long time. I was on my last blank CD, and had to decide then whether I would buy more CDs, or whether I would buy a new stereo that didn't need CDs.
I burned two DVDs yesterday. First time in almost a decade, but it made me wonder why I don’t do it more often. I still have 98 blank DVDs on a spool purchased years ago.

Burnt one recently for a profile backup on a terminated user.
I still rip blurays, so reading them is go
Every now and then I have a reason to archive something at work, its probably like once a year tho
I still occasionally burn CDs, whenever I need new music in the car that doesn't require my phone. Last time was last year.
