Damn kids get off my lawn
We couldn’t afford that. We had to put our DVDs on our finger and spin them backwards
Looks like an actual device I had for applying labels to burnt CDs. You’d print the labels in your inkjet printer.
Probably the same young kids that REFUSE to buy oscillating doormats, or refill the blinker fluid on rental cars.
GenZ, I tells ya…
I had the 52x model.
We had one of those. But then there was the fire incident. I thought in my childhood innocence years that burning CDs was a metaphor
You know if this was a real product somebody would have bought it.
We laugh, but this was an actual product.
This version turns your copy of Shrek into a fucking Beyblade
I had one of those, it was a CD scratch remover / cleaner. It actually worked somewhat - you could restore some discs that were too scratched to use.
It was basically a leather (maybe) band wrapped around the spiral wheel that buffed the CD in a radial motion (center to outer) at the same time that the disc would slowly rotate around a spindle. You’d end up with radial buff-marks all the way around the CD, which looked a little bit similar to the pattern of the blue spiral thing in the center, coincidentally.
To be fair rewinding by hand was much faster by hand if you used your CD/DVD spindle to rewind in bulk!
Kids these days and their PLC NAND flash!
Back in my day, we had wax cylinder rewaxers.
also kids dont know about the importance of blinker fluid for their car and need to always be reminded to buy some
car downloader.
The legacy lives on - nowadays I have to rewind my FLAC tracks.
It’s part of the experience, you either love it or hate it.
I think I’m too old to know what this is…
