2 years ago by BrikoX to c/technology

In an interview Sony gave to AV Watch recently, the company admitted it's going to "gradually end development and production" of recordable Blu-rays and other optical disc...

I don’t think I’ve burned a DVD in 15 years. Sick of hunting for disks to swap.

If it’s worth keeping, it lives on a RAID.

If it's worth keeping, it lives on a RAID drive and a cloud backup*

3-2-1. Three copies in two different storage types, one of which is off site.

Although Sony killed it doesn't mean there no other similar product from other companies
I'm sure Sony has reason why they killed it maybe because low selling point since everyone has some flashdrive/HDD to save data or because many movies are already available internet

A lot write here other will still produce them, that's right. But with sony missing this product section will lose a lot in the research sectiin since sony was always try to get disc with higher memory, often as rather cheap backup option for companies. Guess we we reached probably the end here.

Don't let that guy bum you out. You are doing great and I and everyone else including that idiot knew what you mean. He is just one of those guys who gets his willies off talking down to people so he can feel smart.

Spell checkers, part of basically every browser, literally show you any sort of major typo. And if you're struggling to find certain words, there's dictionaries that can translate for you.

Was never really interested to be 100% correct about what I write. But because of you I look how it work on Firefox. I need to install an Add-on for every language. Ahhh not really in the mood to use it but i give it a go since you kindly point it out to me. Seem it corrected already a word for me, didn't know interested is written like that. But that won't change that i sometimes just don't care.

News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.

What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

  • If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
  • Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
  • Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
