I’m wondering if we’re at the stage where the joke is missed because the average age of users never experienced the CD.
It’s probably confusing people already who never rented VHS tapes
Gaming disks still exist, also music CD, even vinilos have a comeback.
Thanks. I’m calling my LPs vinilos from now on. (No /s)
I’m of the age where I can remember having a load of rewritable cds and DVDs plus those things that supposedly cleared up scratches now those were a scam too.
I had one that was a hand crank thing. It actually worked pretty well. Whenever I thought that was it for my Diablo II CD, I would run it though there and Presto: good as new.
My Xbox 1 also had this weird thing where it sounded like it was fucking eating the CD too. If it got too grumpy we would use the crank and boom: back to teabagging people in Halo.
Usually the home versions were scams, but there were better quality ones out there that would remove just a little bit of the top layer, making a smooth finish again. Although deep scratches obviously couldn’t be repaired in this case.
We used toothpaste and water to “cure” CD and DVD scratches lol. I swear, it (seemed like it) worked! 😄
Sometimes it did! I tried it on a disc that was so messed up, I figured out couldn’t make it work any less, and wouldn’t you know, it worked for the first time in a long time. Other times, not so lucky.
Most toothpaste is slightly abrasive so depending on the scratches it can definitely work as a polish. I’d always steal my dad’s special glass polish and it was basically like toothpaste
I learned how to polish glass fiber… It’s not any different from polishing anything else, except the “sandpaper” is smoother than normal paper
Toothpaste is an abrasive… Partner it up with finer and finer abrasives and you could get a cd clearer than new

Doesn’t the fediverse userbase trend towards being made up of millennials? I’m on the older end of gen Z myself and grew up with CDs and DVDs, so I imagine most people here are familiar with the technology.
