I have no idea what I'm going to do with these.

>>58293913
Burn a ton of porn and leave them in coffeshops
It'll either make or ruin someone's day

throw them out the window like frisbees after cleaning your keyboard

Eh, it's at the end of its life and in "Soon to be replaced" mode, I've given up on it at this point.

>some of them are named, a lot of them are completely blank
>mixed in with a bunch of empty CD's
>its huge and unweildy and just takes up space
>even if I wanted to go through the mind numbing process of putting all the shit thats worth anything onto a high capacity USB, I simply can't because I don't even have a CD reader anymore
Theyre just going to stay in a closet until the end of time I think

I feel your pain.

Thrown them in the microwave and watch the sparks.

Burn TempleOS on both of them, keep one, give one away.

Optical discs are still very relevant.

>he doesn't back up everything

I personally made the observation that operating systems (I tried a bunch of Linux distros, use Mac OS X and Windows), become unstable the moment the USB-flashdrive installer gets overwritten.

Since them I'm sympathizing with DVDs again, because once the installer is burned, it's there and stays there.

DVDs are also quite small, get a holder thingy like pic related and a big amount of magnetically resistant data takes up not more space than e.g. a Bible in your shelf.

That's the next good thing: optical storage media survives a lightning bolt in your neighbourhood or even big speakers with big magnets on them.
Magnetic media shits itself when such things happen (bitrot, flipped bits, sudden crashes or broken jpegs etc.).

For these reasons optical media will never die for some people.

Nice article

since I mess with old systems a lot I usually keep a ton of CD-Rs around for OS installations

it's also kind of nice to have dedicated OS media on hand, flash drives feel like a waste for it

He's right though.
