I was browsing a technical store’s website and came across some DVDs. On sale. You’d need an optical drive to use them, unless you use them to decorate your walls

If you do use them, what do you use them for and why do you not just use hard drives, SSDs or USB thumb drives instead?

This is not a hate post. My whole existence is living in the 90’s, so… :P

    I haven’t burned a dvdr in years, maybe more than a decade. Last time was a linux installation disk, I’m not sure if it was because I was having troubles creating a bootable usb for that distro, or a PC that for some reason was refusing to boot from a usb, but I was glad of having still some blank disks lying around.

    Edit: I’ve had to go check, I still have a bunch, most of them are rewritable, lol
