I must have dreamed they
are still available with two clicks. Absolutely
no offerings. Silly me…
Not for me.
This doesn't gain anymore truthfulness by repeating over and over again with no evidence. Just because a few garbage CDs failed, it doesn't mean there are none that last a few decades. Besides: I did an analysis in this regard last week. Result is: Burned optical discs fare pretty well; better than most other stuff. Media quality and storage conditions absolutely matter. The discs without proper coating/label from factory on are prone to damage.
You lost that bet. Mine are still all fine.
Then you share your wisdom with us: Which storage medium does
not degrade/decay? What medium solved the problem of long-term digital data storage? Two decades isn't bad for digital storage. Most flash memory devices I had didn't even reach the age of 5.
I know none that would last forever. What do you think I have this signature for?

This condescending way of talking about anything that wasn't released in the last two days slowly but surely makes me sick.
