Mine was probably FCKGW-RHQQ2-i forget the rest of the key.
Last week for me. I burned a FreeDOS 1.4 CD to install it on my recently acquired Pentium 4 desktop.
I mean, I’d have still used a thumb drive at this point. I/O is way better.
I am not sure if old P4 machines have the BIOS support for USB booting. I know newer chipsets will.
Plop go brrr. I used it on my windows me laptopto install Damn small Linux
A lot of retro PC people use drive emulators you slot an SD card loaded with images files in. E.g. PicoIDE
I have a newer P4 machine and it supports USB boot
I have an older i7 that does not
I guess it depends more on the bios
I’ll go burn a cd right meow. Idgaf.
~10 years ago i bought one of those sony cd players with the giant carousel that holds like 200 discs. i probably spent a week burning entire discographies.
They still made them 10 years ago, or are you misremembering? 😁
I recall a friend bought one in the early 2000’s, which is like twenty years ago (ouch, that hurts).
thrift store find! i had to replace the belt that opens the door, but other than that it works perfectly ^^
That is very cool!
Jokes on you. I just burned a cd for my kids car. Yes he has a cd/tape deck.
I still have a spool of 100 fresh discs plus a dozen RWs.
that day is yet to come.
That day came for me when I didn’t have a spare flash drive and wanted to fresh install my OS. I was a king that day.
I still do it though.
I also just ripped a CD last night.
The Initial D soundtrack so I could listen to it in my 90’s Toyota Corolla.
This was in 2019.A fan of eurobeat found in the wild! Hello!
It was Massive Attack Mezzanine and the cd is still in my old car for all I know.
That’s a good fuckin album
My old car has a cd drive and really good speakers, and I have an old Linux computer with a cd/dvd drive, and cds are really cheap, and I pirate music, so the last time I burnt a cd was yesterday, and not out of novelty but because its the only way I can listen to music in the car.
I will probably burn another cd in the future, but ig you never know, lmao.
If your car has an aux you could use Bluetooth to aux. But yeah a lot of old cars don’t. Mine didn’t so I was in the same situation as you for many years burning CDs! They could be MP3 CDs though, very fancy ;P
I burned a Blu-ray like 2 weeks ago. I also routinely burn CDs because my relatively new car still has a player built in (though I think in the last 3 years, Subaru got rid of it on newer models)
Does it have to be a CD? Can’t it be a DVD?
Or vinyl.
Oh damn. I only have the one vinyl and I don’t even know if it still works or not.
without even realizing it
staring intensely at the CD-R drive
“Come on baby, you’ve got at least one more in you!”
without even realizing it
staring intensely at the CD-R drive and loaded revolver
“This is it. This is the last time I will burn a copy of Stoner Jamz Mix '98.”
Just yesterday I burned a cd to listen to in our 2004 corolla. Pretty sure it wasn’t the last.
Jokes on you, I just bought an old ass dell optiplex. That shit came with a cd drive. I actually didn’t even check to see if it would burn tho. And I don’t have a CD player. But I could! Probably…
