This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
There are dozens of us.
I got a Blu-ray player just because I had an extra 5.25" bay. Flashed the open source firmware for it so I can rip and burn Blu-ray with it.
That was a year ago; I've never used it once
oh yea! me too!
I have one, but I don't use it for anything.
I has one in my old rig. Decided to replay Gothic, so I got out the disks to try installing it, which failed and I ended up buying it on GOG for 2,50€ instead.
I decided not to have an optical drive in my current machine.
I have a blu-ray drive in my PC, it's so old that it can also do Lightscribe.
My laptop has! (I ~don't use a desktop)
Do external ones count?
I have an (unplugged) blu-ray drive in my tower… but only because my case is old enough that tracking down the right blanking plate is a pain.
I do :)
I have one in a USB enclosure in my parts box, I get it out every 5-10y when I need to read a disc
I have an external Blu-ray drive which was quite the adventure to get working correctly on dosbox.
Why do you need dual cup holders? Is that so it can hold an extra large mountain dew?
Any reason for having a floppy drive? Never seen those in semi-modern cases
-
cuz my pc had a spot for a floppy drive.
-
have a few old pcs laying around which makes my life easier to have.
It has a internal usb to floppy drive adapter so everything works
Wow that's a... An image taken on a Pixel, that's for sure...
Would it shock you that it wasn't taken on a pixel?
Yes it would. The picture just really has that over amplified brightening of the black case. I kinda associated this kind of processing with the pixel (I have one, so I thought I was super smart, but apparently no!)
Na its a Poco X3 Pro running the google pixle photos app. Mostly because LineageOS stock photo app doesn't support all cameras
Gcam does that no matter what phone you hack it onto. I have a modified gcam on my op9 pro and it produces similar photos.
Forget optical drives, SSD Raid backplanes is where it's at
