When's the last time you used your disc drive, Sup Forums?

When's the last time you used your disc drive, Sup Forums?

I just discovered mine won't even open and I have no idea how many years it's been like that.

2 hours ago

Used it once the day I built my computer. Because I forgot to download the wireless adapter drivers and had to use the fucking disc.

(No I don't use wireless anymore.)

About five years

mine broke like four years ago and I never bothered to replace it

I tried to use it now but it won't open :(

People still keep disc drives in their machines? The fuck? Do you people use floppies unironically too?

I removed mine like 4 years ago at least.

when i had to switch back to windows because linux is gay

I pulled data off some old discs I found last year. Besides that it's probably been a good 5 years since I had a reason to use it.

Three years ago, when I got a CD from a dude I met. I had to use a laptop from 2005 because my last three machines haven't had an optical drive.

i have one in my case from my last build that i was too lazy to take out and because i don´t have the cover for the empty space anymore
i technically still use it for my case to not have a giant hole in it so yes last time usage right now

a few weeks ago i tried installing a game from my collection i think it was quake

may i ask why you don´t just make an iso out of your disk?

I use it all the time. Using it right now to update firmware of a server I just received.

People who never use them are the same people who could do without an ethernet jack

the other day to burn diagnostic disks for some power macs, and occasionally to burn CDs for my car

too much trouble to bother, its not important to me

ive built two computers since 2010 and neither have ever had a cd drive installed

Literally 20 minutes ago. The ripping never ends.

We already had this thread a few days ago.

3 weeks ago to install music and ships from wipeout 2097 into ballisticNG

lol what

Yesterday. I had to get NetBSD into an old beige PowerMac G3 somehow.

yesterday, found some old cd's and dvd's and wondered what was on them

same case with the floppy's that I found next to them

Yesterday

I just got one because people kept asking me why my pc doesn't have one

When I tried to watch a movie my Nip friends sent me for Christmas only to find that it didn't support Blu-ray.

Couple of months ago, when I burned some PSX games
Fuck yeah POWER SHOVEL

I built a new rig a few months back. I didn't even bother putting a dvd drive in it.

everyday. i use it to warm my bologna before i put it on my sammich

Have to play oblivion GOTY somehow.

it's a video game
you download it

Oh yeah I forgot about that stuff. Yeah I burnt a copy of Mr. Driller Drill Spirits for the Dreamcast like a year ago.

So that's one use.

>Implying that I own it on steam.

You can't just go to like bethesda.biz and tell them about your CD key or something?

Not sure never tried anything like that, though I personally would prefer to have a digital copy. Less scratches.

Just a few weeks ago. I built a new PC and discovered that none of my USB ports due to the lack of drivers. My Ethernet didn't work either, but my DVD drive worked. I burned the relevant drivers to a DVD on another computer and installed them.

People still have a disc drive?

Jesus christ

I don't have one

i use mine all the time since I own DVDs like a lot of people

>owning DVDs
Do you actually pay for movies? Why?

Ripping music/movies
Blu-ray playback
Burning shit disks for friends (never have to worry about getting it back)
Installing older vidya

I used it to install Witcher 3 because my internet is shit

A few days ago. Reinstalled some MOBO drivers and software cause something happened. I don't know what, trying to figure that out.

bump for non gpu thread

I have a lot of dvds from when I was still living with my parents and people bought dvds. This is like, 2005-2010. May as well still use them since they work perfectly fine.

It's ripping or writing Blu Rays every day. In use as we speak.

>everybody has the exact same needs I do
Man you're a fucking retard

I don't know if the 'you actually pay for things' is better then the 'I don't use this thing so I can't understand why it exists' line. I'm leaning towards the latter but these are my top two favorites no doubt.
