I also have CDs that are this old. There’s a big difference between CDs that you can burn yourself, because those are using organic materials and the weak laser in your disk drive to burn them and professionally made disks, which are usually using inorganic materials and molds. The molds then are embossed into the datalayer of the CD, making it significantly more durable than organic discs.
Magnetic tape depolarizes over time. CDs were organic and they would literally rot away. But as long as your Blu-ray discs are high to low (HTL)/inorganic Then you’re really set for at least 30 years as well, just like professional tape, but at a fraction of the price.
My personal conspiracy theory is that Sony is trying to kill Blu-ray before it enters public domain. (2028-2030 or so). Single-layer Blu-rays are invaluable for my cold storage backups. So I’m going to keep buying them. And thanks to them, entering public domain, innovation will be possible once again. So, in all honesty, I don’t have that much to fear, as mega corporations also use blu-rays heavily for backups, together with tape.

The video game Cyberpunk 2077 is an excellent Cyberpunk TV series. The only problem is, you need to play a shit video game between episodes. The DLC is better about this, but the gameplay of the original campaign is trash. lol. I only carried on because of the excellent writing.
Question for becoming a board member in the video games industry: “How long have you been a board member in the fast food industry before?”
Why did did it start at XP? I’m too young to remember.
Windows 10, the last “sane” Windows. Bruh, this is where the bullshit started.
Sadly gutenprint does not support the ET-7750. :(
I’ve been to that site too, and yes, I do also find the appropriate packages with it, but problem is it’s either RPM or DEB. Can I get the ESC/P-R driver on arch somehow? Preferably, I’d like to use Pacman, but as a desperate last resort, I’ll also use the AUR.
It’s just a corporate context, half of the people are actually working, half of the other people mimic working.

Cruelly ironic, considering the IDF used starvation as a weapon.
I wish I could go the place, where all people who don’t believe these stories come from. Sounds like a dream. I consider myself lucky with the professors I had, but I also had a fair share of bottom feeding trash.
