Really annoyed that PC's aren't really made with optical disc drives anymore, support of old games and DVDs aside, what am I gonna do the next time I don't have a free flash drive?? I used to use a CD-RW as a makeshift USB when in a pinch and knew that every pc could read it even if it was a tad strange.

#dont get me started on the eventual phaseout of USB A; they better make USB C flash drives or im busting out the adapter #ive made it work on my phone when the sd was full and ill do it again #tetranynous.txt #i know the answer is just chuck it on onedrive (free terabyte from uni)#but i just cant come to terms with the death of physical media #and no im not going to carry around a usb cd drive #(i dont own one) since it sort of defeats the convinience of carrying just a disc that can be read anywhere #and at that point id just get a bulk pack of usbs (esp since i can turn them into bootable media nowadays)#anyways this rant was in part becaude i found 80% of a relatively modern pc thrown out that im gonna try to turn into a cad pc #and the motherboard doesnt have a spot for a cd drive #or multiple expansion slots :|#granted it is one of those itty bitty tiny boards (weird) but like do gamers not put multiple gpus (crossfire) in pcs anymore???#although i guess theres integrated now so they already usually have 2; BUT im gonna one up that with a mere thinkpad #(egpu; can put in the expresscard slot; literally just a desktop gpu and power supply)#anyways unpug-ifying that tiny thing and putting it a proper case with proper airflow and a sick paint job nature is healing
