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

    DVDs don’t seem to be on the brink of extinction in the same way floppys are, so I think you’re good! :) What art do you do? :D

      Red Dwarf may be prophetic, and all the old formats will come back. Old formats, as in older than CD/DVD.

      And the floppies may even get big, really big, for the really important stuff, to help make sure we don’t lose it.
