@xmaslightguy - That's nice. Seems you've been listening to a lot of them since you've worn out CD Players 😁

I also agree, it's not the best place to store photos on CDs, as only you need a few scratches and the CD is done. Back then you could do it on CDs, as where else could you store? But nowhere days you have a Computer, Pendrive, etc. If it's not your only place to store images, then I guess you're good 👍

Hi! I'm looking for a small wall pack that uses 18W Low Pressure Sodium/SOX. Any collectors willing to sell me one? An example is American Electric Lighting/Thomas and Betts ES2-18LPSC. Thanks!

Yep, I still listen to CD's fairly often. I've even worn out a couple CD players over the years on my stereo system. lol.

Once a great while, I would burn pictures into the CD-R for archival purpose. 
Just be aware that CD-R's degrade over time, rendering the data unuseable....so just make sure that is not your one sole place of storing anything you want to keep!

I am really looking forward to buying the upcoming Madonna album on a CD
I didn't even know she had a new album coming out. I'll have to get that.

I am sending you this message from Lynx via SSH into my server. It is running Fedora Linux 43 (Server edition) and has 12 cores, 128 threads (yes, 128) spread across 2 POWER ISA CPUs, 128gb of RAM, and enough PCI to make any mini-ITX user cry
Probably the first time LG has been accessed from a once $20,000 machine that is a little over 10 years old, but still performs well.

More importantly, what is the weirdest way you have accessed (or even posted to) LG?
I have already seen people use LG on smart fridges and car infotainment systems, but does anyone else have anything more interesting?
 75   Lamps / Modern / Mercury vapor lamps are now RARE in the USA OVERNIGHT  on: April 14, 2026, 07:47:35 PM

It seems to me that over the past several months, mercury vapor lamps that were once common throughout the USA are suddenly becoming rare and virtually unobtainium virtually overnight within the past few months especially since I have seen that the US eBay has been rapidly taking down mercury vapor lamp listings overnight.

I wonder what might be the best way to obtain hard to find North American market mercury vapor lamps going forward via websites other than eBay or facebook marketplace.

That's quite nice 😎 I haven't been burning Photos on CDs pretty much, though I use CDs for Music and stuff like that.

I also forgot to include that I use CDs for Music

I mean, it's not a really topic on Vinyls, but I suppose so if you're not in CDs.

I never really held a VINYL in real life, but I can Imagen how big they are compared to a CD.

I also recommend being careful with Vinyl, to not scratch it much and hold it with your fingers lightly. As of, I'm not going to explain more, I've never interacted with a vinyl, only CD, Pendrive and Cassette.
