yeah, but i’m planning on that day being the future. gotta save all my music offline 💖
I’m pretty sure I’m also done with USB sticks.
So how do you install operating systems?
The operating system is already there when I buy the device.
Gross
What?
The os that comes with the computer is either chrome os, windows, or Mac os. Ew
Windows, I ain’t buying apple shit. So what?
The only good operating system is this one
Dude, for the future. I don’t have anything against Linux. I will probably switch myself in a couple of months. But if You want people to know about it, don’t be a jackass. Don’t be pretentious. You fucking asshole.
A slight overreaction to what is clearly a dumb joke maybe?
Ohhh you’re not there yet
I still use them in my car. Car has no cd or cassette player. And can’t afford to use cellular data to stream music from my phone
I don’t have a serial data cable (or ports for one on my PC) so USB stick is the only way to get my .stl files to my 3D printer to actually print stuff.
Ok, I don’t have a 3d printer. Yet.
What printer do you have? If it has a (micro) USB port, you can most likely set up OctoPi on a raspberry pi, connect the Pi to your printer and print over the network.
I don’t think that’s true. I have a 20+ year old iBook G3 that I keep around to tinker with Mac OS 7-9. The usb slots either don’t work, or at least don’t support newer usb drives, so it’s only a matter of time before I hop over to the Macintosh Garden and start burning discs again.
It’s easy for me to remember. I made a cute soundtrack for an anniversary. I miss that relationship sometimes, but I try to convince myself leaving helped me grow.
Screenshoting this thread to burn it onto a disc later.
lol I didn’t
Will there be a time where we will write to a USB stick for the last time?
I haven’t burned my last one yet
And one day, a few years later, I threw away my opened package of unwritten raw CDs and DVDs.
Still feels like a waste. But my spool was just taking up space.
I regret it, it was dozens of disks, and yet haven’t needed a CD since.
Although I do still use DVDs on occasion.
I still remember doing the same thing
I’ve kept my Blu-ray burner in service from the past few rebuilds, probably had it about a decade or so
Though I’m not sure I’ve actually ever burned anything with it—used it to back up some old DVDs recently though
I shit my pants once when I was 32, I did not know that wouldn’t be the last time.
In the North of England that’s called ‘shittin yer keks’.
It might not be.
Hah I knew it exactly. 2019 when my university required to hand in all (raw) data used for creating my thesis on a CD or DVD. I had to buy a new one of these things where you get like 50 disks stacked on a stick (to use 3 of them) and had to borrow my mom’s old laptop, because it was the only one available with a dvd drive. I knew it then and I’ve been right since then: This was the last time.
I think for me it was before I moved counties and my disc was full so I put all my torrents on a couple DVDs. Early 2009.
Since I have to deal with an older system that has not yet been replaced (and isn’t slated to be for a variety of reasons), combined with some security requirements that the clients IT team had put into place…
I still have blank CDs and have burned them relatively recently. Probably will be doing so again in about 2 months…
I don’t know when it was specifically, but I know it was to make a music CD for my old car that could play MP3s off of CDs. 15 years ago, maybe?
I don’t even have a device with an optical reader
