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 have a small library of music CDs, because I liked music before there was an internet. I recently ripped them to .FLACC.

      I keep meaning to do this, but do I really want to buy a dvd reader just to try to rip all my older music and movies that I seem to be getting along without?

      Actually, a more likely reason is baby pictures. My mom was trying to be forward thinking and sent copies of all the pictures she took of my kids on cd-r or Kodak picture disk. Those are more important
