https://www.220-electronics.com/ is having a sale. I have bought several players from them and they've been great

It's essentially a player which ignores the region locks on bluray discs.

millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars

How quickly we forget Laserdisc and Video CDs.
Oh and UMD, but I don't think "I want to watch a movie in poor quality on a tiny screen on a device that'll probably run out of battery before the movie finishes" was a market anybody was really interested in.

I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

I remember ripping a CD to one with an optical cable. It split by tracks and everything.
I felt like Johnny Mnemonic.

online @lemmy.ml I think they're saying the opposite: millennials as "boomers" so-to-speak.

I’m a millennial and I grew up with 8 tracks and cassettes. I was in grade school when we got our first CD player.
