#26 #it’s been probably 8 years since the last time I did it but I expect I could pick it back up easily enough if for some reason I needed to #(and certainly I know what the verb ”to burn” means in this context which I suspect is a large part of what you’re asking) #but why *would* you need to we have smartphones now #(okay yes optical discs are likely the single best option for ordinary citizens who want #to leave a whole bunch of data to gather dust for decades and still be able to read it afterward) #((particularly if you burn multiple copies and access by feeding them all through ddrescue or whatever ddrescue has evolved into by then)) #(so yes future-me may very well have a reason to burn discs but that’s not where I’m at right now) #(and I do think smartphones (and the occasional USB stick) have taken over every niche for CDs *except* cheap decades-scale data storage) #tag rambles #surveys #101 Uses for Infrastructureless Computers
