The end of physical media is neigh


Very sad news for me personally.  Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist.   With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

I have boxes of dvds and blu ray discs.  I have a Sony blu ray player that I mostly use to play music videos in surround sound.  I have a Pioneer Elite dvd player sitting in a box as a backup, but it doesn't do blu ray.  

I might watch for a deal on a blu ray player just to have one in the event that my Sony craps out. I really don't think a lot of what I have on media is available from streaming.  At least not for free.
