I remember burning cds with songs I got from limewire back in the day. Takes me back

There was also a software to burn pictures in the disc via the burn patterns. There's a open source project now but it didn't work for me.

Edit: i don't mean the label side but the data side. But has similiar problems with supported players.

Burning CD'S aside, does she think we did this to get a text? 🤣🤣 this shit was before mobile phone were a thing, and when you had one as a teen you still couldn't afford to text for hours on end

Yes, with fire. The Romans originally tried it, which is what led to Nero accidentally burning down ROMe.

I had this application that would print a CD shaped stickers. I could upload and design any background, and add text with any font. It was when computers peaked.

We Gen Z get called "the first digital kids" but I clearly remember the last days of physical and optical media. My sister and I would burn CDs with songs we would download from LimeWire.

Well, in a way you could say we used the equivalent of concentrated sunlight.

Yeah, like Nero ... burning Rom(e).

Of course it was a ritual. It was a form of necromancy, to start you had to invoke the name of an ancient Roman emperor

Fun fact: It actually is kind of burning. With a laser.

Not enough to set it on fire, but enough to change a dye from translucent to opaque.

being a post-millennial is not an excuse for not being able to use google

Not with fire. With concentrated light. We had to focus on that shit.

I captured, taped, burned, and also ripped!

I still burn dvds with movies I like for them ☺️

I have not yet met a young person who doesn't know what a CD is. I feel like the internet has pranked me.

It was them, wasn't it? The kids. They started this rumor did they not? They're laughing at us right now, aren't they? They're reading this comment and they know I fell for it.

Wait, there's no red laser symbol in Unicode?

No, but literally burning them was fun because of the colorful flames and smoke. And the burning lungs.

I burnt a CD yesterday.

My.father burned thousands of CDs and DVDs to coax the old gods into giving him money. It took him 5 years to realize he was literally breaking even wasting hours a day. We had a hell of a dvd collection tho

I don't know why we called it burning. Fire was not involved. We could have just called it "copying."

I firmly believe figuring out how to bypass the little tab on cassettes to make them writable again to impress girls with mixtapes was THE defining moment that launched the pheaker and subsequent hacker movements.
