Some issues are

  1. As mentioned, they will not run on the actual hardware
  2. Pressed CD’s normally last longer than a burned one.
  3. It’s far too easy for the creator to simply create a few extra to make a little more $, where as creating pressed media take a bit more effort/money as you need to do it in bulk to be cheaper than just ordering blank CDs on Amazon.
  4. It’s far less “premium”, which is normally what limited run items are for.

Don’t forget that appdata nowadays has 3 sub folders, local, locallow, and roaming.

Also there’s C:\programdata

Also some programs just store it in the user folder, the documents folder, or games/ my games folder if they are a game.

That is suprisingly good quality. I have never really seen a still shot from laserdisc before, can see why it had a following back in the day.

It was a joke, this time.

But back in my university days (holy shit I feel old, that was around 17 years ago), when flash drives were still new ish technology. I had installed a Linux live cd, which was a brand new idea back then, on my USB stick that also contained a bunch of my files.

I thought it would be a fun idea to rm -rf / to see what it would do to a live cd environment.

Then I realised it was not a fun idea as I started to see the names of my project documents being deleted.

Can confirm, it takes up so much space it’s surprising they install it by default, my drive is like 99% free now.

Unrelated, but none of my files are in my documents folder anymore and I can’t run steam, anyone know if they relied on the French language pack?

Smooth hair free legs make you run faster in CS2.

They also make it easier to slip into cute femboy outfits.

Win-win!

True, only the best alpha males would be ok with themselves to the point of wearing an awesome frilly pink skirt*

I hope other governments, small and large, start doing this.

Devil’s advocate:

Crystals - placebo effect can be a thing, and if they provide a sense of relief that’s a good thing. As long as they still take their actual medicne and don’t think putting a herring in a sock will cure cancer.

Cables - While there’s obviously a cut-off point. As an IT guy I have fixed a not-insignificant number of issues with sound/display/network quality/dropouts by replacing crap/damaged cables with slightly more expensive ones. Just don’t expect them to turn. a 360p stream into 4k
