So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

    Until I finally traded in my last laptop and didn’t realize the new one wouldn’t have a disc drive, I still used them to test Linux distros. Other than that, maybe burning actual movies to, for something to watch should the Internet go out? Get a portable DVD player (do these still exist?) to take camping?

    Hard copy of your favorite pornos, to be given out as stocking stuffers for Christmas?

      I picked up a USB external blu-ray writer for pretty cheap with a USB-C -> MicroUSB cord. I almost never use it, but when I do, it’s absolutely needed. It takes it’s power from the USB port so it’s super easy to just throw in a drawer for it’s one use every other year.
