DVD is dead. Long live DVD.

My PC is from autumn 2017. Will ride this Windows 10 rig to death, then probably quit Windows gaming on Windows, see what Windows stuff works under Linux, via Steam Proton. Racing in VR probably will be a thing of the past then. I maintain a secondary Linux system already now, since years.

I use a 32" TV in fullHD. More I do not need. Movies I watch via Quest 3 in a VR cinema. I have a Bluray/DVD disc player, CD burner in PC, and an external Bluray/DVD burner. I even still have two VHS recorder, one of them factory-sealed.

Honestly said, all these things have started to interest me less and lesser with every year. And dealing with PC needs and Windows quarrels simply kills my nerves now.

I still have some movies on VHS that I can't find on DvD! (been meaning to burn them to DvD for a long time.

)

I have a nice collection of DvDs and I like the format.

I've done that a few times (still have boxes & boxes of VHS in the garage, bought and home recordings) - "The Mummy's Shroud", "The Keep" and "Come And See". These did all eventually get released on DVD once they'd reached cult status - but at a high price - very high in the case of The Keep, the complete version of which we had to get from Australia

Because I have low friends on high places, I was able to snag a DvD copy of the original versions of the first starwars movie.

This way I can show the grandkids how it really was.

The ardent rush to get almost everything we do online - it's called "putting all your eggs in one basket" - then along comes your enemy with his cyber warfare

Or a solar event. Or Robert Habeck.
