We've talked a lot about physical media this week.

Here's a question: how much media would you have to enjoy if the cloud went down and you only had the discs, tapes, records and books in your own collection?

@hackaday Vast majority of the music I usually listen to and plenty enough of yet unread books not to worry about it :)

@dos Solid on music over here but severely lacking in anything to play CDs. Movies... precisely none!

@hackaday No movies either, but I do have some live concerts on DVD and I keep a USB drive around to be able to rip whatever lands in my hands 😁

@hackaday At least a decades worth. Even though my laserdisc player is out of comission right now.

@hackaday

My local library has a good selection of everything I might not have at home.

@hackaday let's just say enough 😅

@kazriko Ah yes. So many of us have swelling Steam libraries but very little locally stored. Even worse that the platform typically requires web auth to allow access...
