Threw away all of the old CDs and DVDs I had as well, I don't need that shit cluttering up my apartment.

No, and i don't miss burning CD or DVD's one bit, so glad that has passed. Never bought a blu ray burner either, never felt i'm missing out on something.

Ever since you could install windows from a USB, I didn't even have a CD/DVD drive slotted in my case.

There really is no need for them to exist in todays age. Multiple OS on one single USB drive, via the marvel that is Ventoy, games all downloaded, with very little boxed copies available, and even so, they would now require multiple disks with the size of most, movies all available via streaming platforms, as is music. They are also far too small for your average backup, and far to slow also.
Brings back memories though, of going to local game outlet and buying latest game, ripping disk with CloneCD/DVD etc, then returning it 
No need

Yeah, a usb dongle for emergency windows install and internet speeds that allow me to download/stream whatever I want faster, then the time it would take me to find the disk ^^

Leeching MP3's for hours with shitty internet and burning them on CD for 53 miniutes (burned into my memory that number), good times. I haven't used CD/DVD for ages.

Well, there's a cd/dvd-burner in the PC but I haven't used it, ever. My old one went bad and I got a new one from a mate of mine (when they had dropped down to $30 for a decent Samsung). I can't even remember the last time I burned a DVD. Perhaps in the Win7 days.

Technically I do have CD/DVD drives installed on all my veteran PCs, but to be honest I don't even know if they still work. They're...just there, I guess it makes me feel better to know that they're available in case I feel like listening to all the edgy mp3 collections from high school xD

I still use them for important cold backup of small amount of data, because no malware, trigger-happy antivirus or a retarded/sleepy user can modify anything on read-only media. But for anything else, they became grossly impractical long time ago.

and also dont know a real safe way to get rid of the burned cds either as well, its pirated stuff  |
Used to burn CD/DVD as a backup for projects files. But stopped as just after 2 years some discs started to experience problems, drive needs multiple attempts to read them.  And 9 / 10 disc burned 4+ years ago are completely unreadable  |

Yeah, that was the best. Burning all those cds and dvds and when you finally wanted to watch the movie on it, it wouldn't read it anymore...
