can we make CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and Ultra HD Blu-rays cool again so that pieces of media don't fall into a cultural black hole once streaming services stop carrying them due to tax write-offs or lack of interest. thanks

@hikari optical disks rot so maybe not them

@bob @hikari
Good point
I feel that a Read-only version of SD cards would work perfectly

@AlanyG21 @bob flash memory is probably worse than optical media for long-term storage. decades ago, mask ROMs were a thing, but as it is, Switch carts will probably stop working within our lifetimes

@hikari @AlanyG21 @bob I'd have to find the relevant Life After People episode, but- assuming I remember the episode correctly- I remember hearing that CD-ROMs (not the R/RW crap) should last ~200 years.
