>Takes like 5gb for a decent 4k rip in x265
Holy shit, if you genuinely believe this you need to kill yourself immediately.

>>22067
Because more than one metric is used to make adult decisions. I know this is surprising to someone who watches cartoons.

>>22068
>muh bitrate
Not everyone needs or wants archive quality.

>>22068
He's talking about trash movies you don't care about, Jamal. Night school is available.

>>21972
The more they hate on discs, the more the need for discs becomes apparent.

What, the 90s? What the fuck are you talking about retard?

>>22060
>>22070
>the PC Master Race Movement is now banned from watching films in Blu-ray quality
Why does The Movement always want us to accept less? First it was loicenses instead of games, now it’s shitty rips instead of the real thing?

>>22075
They just deflect and pretend that long term storage isn't an issue when it comes to solid state and hard drives.

>>22075
No one is stopping you from owning a disc you autistic fucking retarded faggot, you're the one spamming everyone to waste their lives hoarding trash media no one gives a fuck about in a room of faggot consumerism because you personally have some fetish to see a bunch of plastic cartons on shelves, you're literally a funkopop retard like other anons already called you out for being and you ego is so fragile you can't accept people telling you to fuck off

fuck off

>>21968
>look I've been down that road. I still have discs with my childhood DVD photos that still load on them 18 years later. I dont own any of those storage devices anymore that I had.
Funny, all my childhood dvd's are long gone, but I've still got the 1tb drive I got in 2006 plugged into my current desktop with everything still on it.

>>21996
nigger i pulled the old hdd out of my childhood pc that sat in the attic for 15 years at my parents house
the thing was fucking pristine

>>21970
That requires a place of my own which I do not have…

>>22079
I've got a laptop from 1999 that still boots from it's 20gb ide drive.
The lifespan of HDD drives seems to be grossly underestimated.
Certainly better than modern solid state drives with their limited read/write

>>21972
lol

>>22081
>a drive from 1999 is the same durability as a modern drive with much tighter tollerances and way more complex systems in place
retard
>The lifespan of HDD drives seems to be grossly underestimated.
it isn't
>Certainly better than modern solid state drives with their limited read
...there's no limit to how many times you can read from a nand chip
>write
literally petabytes before the average consumer tier tlc drive dies
can we stop with this bullshit that "hdds last forever" which has tons of data against it?
I honestly believe it's some kind of malicious trolling attempt, I have like an entire pile of dead hard drives, most with barely any use, while all of my dozens of ssds are all still working and in regular use, some are almost 10 years old by now, it's like none of you retards actually ever owned an hard drive.

>>22083
>an hard drive
Fuck off, tardnugget.

>>22083
>literally petabytes before the average consumer tier tlc drive dies
Pick a macbook. Any macbook. They all prove you wrong.

>>22083
This image has to be BS I have SSD drives from 2011 that still work

>>21968
nigga how bout you tongue my anus?

>>21969
fpbp

>>21972
the problem is will any of the lasers that read them last that long

>>21972
boy they didn't like this trvke did they

Gonna sound gay as fuck for this but I have OCD that leads to me pirating stuff only to delete it later out of misplaced guilt. So I've download hundreds of terabytes of content over the years but I kept literally none of it. I don't know why I'm like this, if I were in charge of an actual archival project I'd be fine but the fact it's all just for personal use feels so pointless.

>>21969
muh physical media is redditor shit. so stupid to want to throw away money. torrent is the way

>>22086
...but the image literally says that ssds have less than 1% failure rate on average per year, are you retarded?

>>22085
source?
because "soldered ssd in a macbook will die in a year due to swapping" is also some bs with no data to back it up

>>22006
They are churning fucking external bluray/dvd combo writers out of china for fucking dollars to manufacture.

Bluray and DVDs are NEVER going away LMAO. I just bought one from aliexpress for $40 and it burns/reads blurays and DVDs.

Even VLC on windows/linux flatpak comes with decryption automatically. You'll have to set the region of the reader but that's about it.

>>22091
Anon, unless you're downloading and hoarding absolute garbage that's worth nothing but the space it occupies on your HDD, it's not useless or pointless. Not even for only personal use.

Think like this:
The world is going towards cloud computing and thin client computers. A heavily censored and (((curated))) one. Meaning, everything the average NPC will use is cloud based and nothing else.
Those that have hoarded content, wether it is knowledge from .pdf's or e-books of other formats, movies, tv-series and other contents will be king.
You will see, much of what you then have hoarded over the years won't be available in the official cloud computing world anymore because of cultural marxist rules prohibiting the content.
A people that got stripped of their past, are slaves to the future that got created by others.
The only way to break this downspiral into zogbot slavery is to make people not forget where they came from and who they are.

Look what the chinese under Mao did to their own people.
They killed millions, destroyed old traditional villages, buildings, yes entire city districts and temples. Just to make people forget their own past, traditions and religion.
The success was only partially and not 100%, but they pretty much fucked up the chink population in a way that is hard to imagine for us here in the west.

Do you notice how most (((modern))) buildings are built a way they could be located literally everywhere? California, Tokyo, Berlin, NYC or Madrid.
They already do this to us, but the progressive and slow way. So you don't notice or don't feel too offended by this.

Seen to how they memoryholed archive.org and stripped its database of the coof years, you can see where it's going at.

So keep hoarding movies, tv-series, documentaties, books about history and science, old novels and stories and all stuff that could possibly be memoryholed by (((them))).
I'ts never pointless. You and others will profit from it later on.

>>21970
>Anon doesn't know about burning dvds

>>21972
Redundancy and backups, my friend. NAS with unraid and backups of my HDDs in cold storage that I periodically check for health every few months or so. With Seer I don't even have to fiddle with torrent sites I just request movies/shows on my TV and they automatically download. I sleep soundly knowing the chance of my collection being lost is near zero. Can you say the same about your physical media which is prone to degradation via disk rot, as well as taking up tons of space?

>>22098
Disk rot doesnt happen on bluray and DVD it rarely happens if you dont store them in a swamp or humid attic

A standard room can hold thousands of DVD's.

>>22099
But then you also have a room with a thousand dvds which is ugly. Unfortunately dvd collections do not have the aura that book collections have. I'm aware that rooms can fit a ton of dvds, I'm just saying it's way nicer to just stick a nas in my closet and not have to have a giant fuckass collection taking up my wall space with shelves.

>dude please hoard expensive pieces of plastic to obtain your license to goyslop

no. there's nothing worth saving that costs money

>>22067
Only if you have multiple copies of it and periodically move the media from old to new disks. Also magnetic tape is superior to disks

>>21968
I can burn my own blueray because my shit is DRM-free.

>>22101
You save the money for making custom cases and discs
You save the time involved in doing so
You get a second backup that can be ripped

Theres lots of reasons why people buy physical media.

>>21970
>or the ability to pop in a disc in a player
as if they'll sell you a player in the future

>>22105
>as if they'll sell you a player in the future
China makes them by the crateful, literally millions of units. You can buy a basic bitch 6X bluray/DVD reader and writer for like $40 on aliexpress. If you want to buy the one without bluray capability its like $20.

You're sounding almost as delusional as sony. Discs work great. The last for decades for zero cost and are dirt cheap to manufacture. You are never going to convince a population that owning nothing is good.

>>22106
have you stocked up on basic bitch whateverthefucks from aliexpress, yet?
i doubt you have...

>>21968
>I dont own any of those storage devices anymore that I had
Skill issue.

>>21968

>Comes to your house and snaps all your discs one by one

Problem chud?

>>21969
If you use Google, Apple, or MS OS's they already check every file on your computer for kiddie porn. They will be checking for pirated files before you know it, too.

Before you know it.

there are only three arguments to defend physical media:
>you are poor and need the second hand market
>you are dumb and can't pirate or doesn't know how to make backups
>you are a consumerist collector

>>22110
apple don't check for csam, that's fake news

You faggots are literally fucking worse type of goy than female that buys stuff she does not need only to wear it once and put it on a shelf, but the difference is, she owns it, You do not, she is not stuck in ages of fucking discs, and You are, cause You are government dog faggot conditioned to love shitty DRM piece of trash that will break even if You do not use it at all

>>22113
kahn, she's too old, post laura

>>22112
Prove it.

physical might be the only way to buy and own video. i don't know of a Bandcamp or a GOG equivalent.
