I still use a cassette in my car. But it is an AUX cassette with a cable.
tumppu
I still have all of those around. They work and are useable and contain some of my most cherished entertainment media possessions.

I always enjoyed the Regular Show episodes with the outdated format characters
Yunadex
This is literally my browser wallpaper xD
RogueChipmunks
I have an 8” floppy...
StrayItalianGreyhound
What’s up with all the nostalgia posts today, have I missed something?
PRoseLegend
Imgur greeted me with a pop-up saying "It's nostalgia day!" when I opened the app, so I'm guessing that's why.
DrexelLevante
So were just gunna completely forget about 8 tracks now too? tsk tsk
railgap
Pfft, real men stored their precious memories on 9-track tape.
AlkaLKittenDiver
2 words, punch card
ArmedandOverclocked

CeruleanFish10
* sniff* Oh where are u dearest 8in SSD floppy disk. Capacity varied 80 - 1212kb. I Googled...
Cellestia
Funny thing, every one of those storage devices will work fine today. However CD's and DVDs will eventually break down and lose data.
adamsonpaul5772
Can we have this on a T-shirt?
toolongofanametoputhere
What, no 8 track tapes or reel to reel?
serapheen

$20 says no kid ever said that
odamanda
No way, as Abraham Lincoln said, "people don't lie on the internet".
DrAxemann
Where are the LPs and the 45s? What about the Laserdiscs and Betamax tapes?
Phischstaebchen
Betamax had no porn....
pikpikpik
Vinyl is still the best and only way to listen to music in good quality
Lewdsmith
Please, in some parts of the world vinyls have outselled CDs for years. Also, C-cassettes are getting pretty popular in certain scenes.
AnusReadyToBeRavaged
Unless you work in the military, we got them floppy disk's yo!
bsmithwins
Probably still using 8” floppies
Phischstaebchen
The big ones for launching ICBMs?
Mimewhat
Can we just agree that CD should also be there.
nohabloespanol
And DVDs
ClassyTavi
We still use CDs a lot where I work.
68pinkfloyd68
Or the gigantic CDS
MultiTrackDrifting
No. Magnetic media only.
autumnrustle
What about the Mini-Disc
UmmonPrime
I don't think they lasted all that long. I remember playing with one in best buy wondering why we would want a cd smaller.
CeruleanFish10
REF YiuTube TechMoan weird nick but the guy does comprehensive ancient tech reviews. He did one on Mi iDisc format.
Subutia
I don't see Zip Disks. Little bombs ready to destroy your life's work at some random time in the future.
PissedMahPants
No 8 track either
Elonth
or betamax
photog
Had one back in 99. People asked, wtf is that? I told them, basically a recordable, track namable, none skip like cd player...that's smaller
malvalm
You must be a wealthy man or woman
kinggaron
An uncle had a laser disc collection like noone on earth. He had some $.
tcgl
Bachelor uncle, I assume? I had an uncle like that too.
kinggaron
Wife and 3 kids actually. He grew up poor, so he worked his ass off to have whatever he wanted.

They become a part of you.
ButterfaceTaintClown
Unless near a strong magnetic field.
SereneLloydBraun
Wat ringz u got?
Whatsizname
They only become incompatible
Fistouille
ramram70
Don't do that! The ESD will ruin the disk.
NeverShaveYourDuck
But the sound is so satisfying
ProxyPlayerHD
I'd still prefer floppies over CD. i mean CD can scratch up so easily and is only ROM. but with modern dense magnetic disks couldn't
ProxyPlayerHD
Floppies hold like TB of data and be basicallyl ike a portable HDD (except more convient). imagine GTA V on a single Floppy
nostalgium
You'd have to, because to my knowledge the best floppy disks store 2.55MB, so you'd need about 26,640 of them.
ProxyPlayerHD
i meant _Modern_ Magnetic storage technology. we have HDDs that have the same disk size as Floppies had. but can store TBs of data
ProxyPlayerHD
so why not take one of those disks and put it inside a floppy hull? sure it's had have a slower read/write time but still better than CD

Lto tapes are stronger than ever.
Phischstaebchen
Got a tapelibrary!
Phischstaebchen
BTW. Still looking for a backupsolution that won't cost much.... Any idea?
MammaryExhibitNumberOne
Open-source backup software with SIA.
Phischstaebchen
SIA? Couldn't find anything aside from TAR that could write to the LTO directly

Ah yes, who could possibly forget the save icon of all things

You're awful hahahaha :D

I’ve got some three-dimensional save icons. They even have some moving parts.
BatmanIPad
josieexplosion
odamanda
I'm getting seriously pissed off at those few but major softwares switching the well established save icon to that retarded download arrow.
Monkeytron
They WHAT!?
JHawke
Eventually people are going to wonder where this joke is from. For some of my applications the save button is a square with a downward arrow
Ghauf
That's typically download.
JHawke
And yet it very clearly saves, not to mention it would make 0 sense to have a download button in between open and save all.
Ghauf
I'm just saying what the symbol usually means in most contexts.
JHawke
Dunno, I have never found 3 the same download symbols. Mostly they just seem to have variations on the arrow pointing down. Which has been >
