11 days agoI definitely agree with you. I feel like I see people talking about optical media rotting all the time and it just doesn’t seem like a practical issue for 99% of use cases.
I seem to remember the conversation in the early 2000s being about how discs would rot in 50+ years and now I see people saying ten or 15.
That makes sense. But I’ve got a wallet of burned CDs from the 90s that put the question to that 15 year timeline.
And these discs? They have not been treated well.
