I am considering not using this product because they say they store data on disc, and that would be awful. Discs wouldn't make any sense here at all, disks would.

Dumb question.

What is the difference? Disk is the internal maagd storage thing, disc is the physical CD-like thing? Or what.

Disk is a hard disk. Disc is an optical disc.

There is a solution to this.

You need to step into the offices of that company with a minigun.

Actually, disk is just non-optical media, which includes floppy disks, zip disks, etc.

Am I going to be using a floppy disk to store my data nowadays? No. Then shut the fuck up.

Obviously you don't work for the US government. You should probably not talk about things you do not understand.

I think you're misinterpreting my emotions. Check your autism.

You could store JPEGs on individual Hgh-Density floppy disks.

You could make a camera that stores images on floppies and then spits them out like a Polaroid picture.

You could shove a glowing hot poker up your urethra, but I still don't see the point.

My idea is more fun and doesn't cause genital mutilation... but I bet you enjoy that kind of thing, tranny.

Actually OP is correct. Your idea sounds horrible and not fun it all. It's not the 80s anymore and no one wants to fuck around with floppy disks and Polaroids, unless you're a hipster, in which case, die.

What about a camera that has a detachable USB drive inside it where it stores all the pictures in GIF format?
