Plz ignore the dust, I’ve tried to clean it. Need more powerful air compressor/vacuum.
This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.
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.
Do external ones count?
My laptop has! (I ~don’t use a desktop)
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
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.
Oh i know. I’ve used many different gcam mods over the years. They’re really cool
Forget optical drives, SSD Raid backplanes is where it’s at
