yeah, think I'm gonna buy one

[-] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Thanks for alerting me there's a link!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I didn't want to post a link myself, because I didn't know if that was OK in this sub, but it was pretty easy to find by searching "CD-R mirror".

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Someone else posted a link :)

But yeah I probably could have just found it 😅

Hope you have a lovely day ☺️

[-] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago

I like it. Yes it’s real. Amazon has it, but it’d be better to buy elsewhere if possible.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I'll pay that. I'd put that on my wall for real

[-] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago

Same. Where can I get one?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago

You can buy them at my etsy [here].

[-] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Oh shit, you can actually find them there.
Not that I'd trust Thema, but still.

Oh, it's only 13" diameter? I'd rather just hang a real laserdisc on the wall in that case.

I want a CD-R mirror that's like 3' wide.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

It's still amazing IMO.

A real laserdisc on your wall feels like a genuine statement piece, as if you're into classic movies and old tech in a totally unironic way.

The beauty of this huge CR-R is that it's modelled after a completely normal and cheap as hell blank disc that came in spindles of 100 that you'd be slapping your MP3s on, and scribbling labels over with black marker pen.

Its beauty is in the surreal and absurd tribute to a completely boring and everyday item.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Why? At least go for RW

[-] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago

This is awesome!

[-] [email protected] 24 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

It's not a CD-RW.

Not worth ibuying.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 23 hours ago

CD-R works better in my car and Discman

[-] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago

You have a discman? Cooooool!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

CD-RW quality only approached "worth a shit" around the time DVD-R became common, and still didn't work in most devices.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Lol, what about cd+rw? Didn't those have better compatibility?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I honestly could barely remember that there were two, let alone which was better.

I do remember the better one was pointlessly more expensive. For the same price, I could usually get twice as many CD-Rs when I needed more, although it might come down to whether I wanted them with cases or on a spindle.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

CD-RW was generally more of a gimmick than a useful format - especially once flash drives appeared and then doubled in size every several months.

CD-R was king for burning audio CDs or general data (until DVD-R came along).

[-] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago

cd-rw were very useful when internets were dialled-up (or later ADSL) and you were working on large image files on different desktops

gimmick was the zip driveZIP 250 USB Drive

[-] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

CD-RW was the lifeblood of my mp3-discman, i just loved to be able to add songs i just discovered!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Looks like a death star with the reflection

[-] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

turns out, this is $20 on Amazon

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
