Digital streaming is displacing the last remnants of physical media.
In a disappointing turn of events, FlatpanelsHD reports that LG has ended production of its Blu-ray player series, which includes the UBK80 and UBK90 models. With limited stock available, prospective buyers should act quickly to secure the last remaining units before they are sold out.
After Samsung and Sony’s departure from physical media, LG was one of the last major manufacturers of Blu-ray players
On one hand I’m happy less plastic shit will be produced and consumed. On the other hand, this is leading more towards dystopian timelines where we can never own anything anymore.
This is all preventable with basic digital ownership laws, but governments are instead bending the knee.

Bring back the MiniDisk!
I had a Minidisc recorder I would use for field audio recordings back in the 90s and I really loved the format. Small, portable, didn’t fuck up like a DAT but was close enough in quality to work in most instances, and basically indestructible.
You could probably drop a Minidisc from the top of a skyscraper and put it back in the player after dusting it off and there wouldn’t be an issue.
A nas is your friend.
And there is plenty is space in the Caribbean Sea
Better buy Blu-ray PC drive
True, but I would expect a soon end of life for those too
That’s what I mean. Gotta get one while they’re still available and we’ll made. Otherwise it’ll be like trying to buy a record player or cassette player. Just knock offf clones of the cheapo models.
