  Aren’t they designed, so you push the middle down to release?

    Typicals, yes. This one is a little different. It has a thick plastic cylinder in the middle and tabs on the sides.

    Oh, yeah, you’d think, but no. Instead you have to try and bend the clips, and while doing so, they catch the two layers of the spindle-hole and either crack the disc, tear the disc, or tear the layers apart. Sometimes the disc even comes out.

  What is it?

    You just exposed your age ;)

      I was born back when a medium older than this was still in use, but I still had to come here for ZeroGravitas’s reply, because all I saw was this circular bit and maybe (but probably not) the rim of a microwave glass plate. I wouldn’t have known it’s a DVD case otherwise.

      Then I will expose it further by saying it looks like a DVD case, but I didn’t think people still cared about those in 2026. So I had to ask.

      YOU JUST EXPOSED YOUR IGNORANCE

    It’s the contact point to connect your butthole cleaner to. You pop a brush head into that, then pop the brush into your butthole, and then spin it.

    All you exposed is that you didn’t read the post’s description.

  I’ve seen a dozen DVDs cracked in the spindle-hole across multiple box sets from this travesty of a design. Bought replacements and exchanged them. Seems they went back to a more sane storage format and these disc-eaters were just unloaded over the holidays or something.

  I’m just impressed all the tabs haven’t snapped off yet

  • skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The entire universe could collapse and these tabs will live on. Forged by Satan himself.

      Right after he forged clear retail bubble packaging. The thick ones, that risk amputation to try and slice open.

    Nah, those ones are built like tanks

    Thicker than your usual CD tabs.

  I think they keep making Blu Ray cases worse to force you to streaming. Also, Blu Ray players, seems like the only functional Blu Ray player is a PS5 now.

  The solution is a NAS

  • A_norny_mousse@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That’s what they’re doing:

    Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays.

    • TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Fine. The solution is downloading everything instead, which is faster anyway
