It was a CD rw and didn't actually work. The data wasn't there.

I have not yet begun to peak. I'm gonna make a driving CD eventually
My barely consumed blank cd tower somewhere in my basement agrees.
It was only a few years ago, when I ran off some Dreamcast games.
It was Armin Van Buuren's Intense. Burned it for a road trip.
Naw, not yet. I still burn a few a year. Amazing how entertaining it can be in a older car.
Oh I knew. It was the last CD in the spindle and I had no plans of buying any more.
My last ISO was hirens boot CD. Shit like me test and whatnot
I burnt about 100 disks last year as an offsite, nuclear resistant backup... though, if nuclear war broke out, that would be the least of my worries

I rip all my vinyls to optical for backup purposes, so the last one I did was a few weeks ago.
You can go burn a CD and know that it would be the last time. Not only is it not yet dead, it is still pretty widely used.
Why is this written in the past tense?
Happened around 2010. Trust me I remember.
Last week isn't really that long ago. Going through my mom's old things and found a PC she bought new back in 2013. A Dell Optiplex 790 with a dvdrw in it.
I just happened to have a couple of blanks so I verified that it worked before pulling it out and using it as an external drive. Works that way as well on my much newer Ryzen 5800x build in a case with no 5.25" bays. (Or externally accessed 3.5s for that matter. No external bays of any sort other than some USB ports on the front.)
My 2006 Honda also has a 6 disc changer and it sounds better than the Bluetooth adapter I connected to it. (It is wired to the back of the factory sound system, but Bluetooth audio just sounds flat to me, even on the best speakers)
