I have 20+ yr old optical media cdr/dvdr and they are still good, the cheap ones like Pine and the ones with no name at all

    What is this 10 year thing? I've also got CD RWs and CD Rs from 1998 that still work. And DVD Rs from like 2002 that are still fine.

    That was my point, hehe. I also never spent on the "quality name brands" of disks, $10 for 100 cds, deal! $15 for 100 dvds insert fry meme. Maybe we just "took care" of our media better than others did? Personally, they are in spindles on a bookshelf, I just made sure no direct sunlight would hit them where they are, some days get warm before I can turn on the ac.

    I definitely agree with you. I feel like I see people talking about optical media rotting all the time and it just doesn't seem like a practical issue for 99% of use cases.

    I seem to remember the conversation in the early 2000s being about how discs would rot in 50+ years and now I see people saying ten or 15.

    the 50yr rot was for printed disks like music/videos/programs, the 10 or 15 was for burned media that uses a different tech. Still have another 25ish years before I can debunk that, I have a little over 100 music cds from different bands that I acquired over the years, but the oldest I have so far is from 1999 or 2k.
