Comment on Disc drive needed
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours agoMy old pc’s still have drives I use sometimes. Or well, only my previous pc. My oldest one, the one I built when I was 18 (21 years ago), still works but it’s a time capsule. Running state of the art XP and photoshop 7, Winamp, C&C red alert 2, age of empires 2.
Last time I burned a cd was to copy a CD a friend bought in North Korea. Maybe I’ll backup some photos on a dvd in the future. Because fuck cloud services.
When I upgradedy pc a few years ago I realised the case doesn’t have bays for my bluray burners. Instead I bought an external case with usb 3.something.
It’s not an amazing setup but it means on the rare occasions I need to use a disc I can. Usually it’s ripping CDs bought from charity shops and adding to my collection on my NAS or the occasional Blu-ray rip.
What was on the north Korean CD?
North Korean music. Typical propaganda music in North Korean style. Women singing about soldiers and the great leader (I assume, I don’t speak Korean but this is what I was told). If interested I can share, in September after my vacation in South Africa.
Yeah that would be interesting to hear. Thank you.

I was bored one weekend and went through all the photos on my phone and sent a bunch them to Walmart to be printed into photos. Now I have an old school photo album in my living room that friends and family can look through when they come over.

I plan on doing the same for my current vacation to South Africa. Otherwise I’ll never look at the photos again.
