It’s insane that BBC just threw out material. Talk about some short-sighted bullshit.

But of course there are immense amounts of material just rotting away out there, I’m sure.

Wasn’t it Verbatim also who started selling normal looking Blu-ray recordables but stamping them “M-Disc”? M-Disc is supposed to be glassy carbon and have that huge archival time. Honestly, Verbatim is looking like a scumbag company nowaydays after being sold and bought.

Physical media is sadly dying. It’s stupid, there’s no good alternatives for some applications. Very annoying.
