I left my optical drive at home.
Where's the best place in a small city to buy an external Blu-ray drive?

Jesus christ the answer is nowhere.
Walmart does not carry one in store.
Target does not carry one in store.
Bestbuy? USB 2.0 only. No USB-C or even USB-3 options. I feel like that's too slow, and it's looks fragile as all heck either way.
Office depot? Not in store.
Staples? Not in store.

So I guess I need to start carrying external optical drives (with unlocked firmwares for makemkv while I'm at it?)

lmao I didn't realize that intel stopped supporting 4k/UHD bluray DRM.
Legally impossible to play a UHD bluray on a PC, no matter how much money you spent for the privileged.
That's hilarious.

Yeah, god the state of optical media is damn pathetic.
They never released a UHD BD-R.
They released BD-R XL, but according to wikipedia: "Although the 66 GB and 100 GB BD-ROM discs used for Ultra HD Blu-ray use the same linear density as BDXL, the two formats are not compatible with each other, therefore it is not possible to use a triple layer BDXL disc to burn an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc playable in an Ultra HD Blu-ray player, although standard 50 GB BD-R dual-layer discs can be burned in the Ultra HD Blu-ray format."
And that's *absurd*.

The cheapest BD-R XL 100s that I'm seeing are like $6/each.
I can get 128GB flash drives for $6 each.
I am, once again, disappointed in the modern tech industry.

Now, do I need 100GB discs to store movies? No!
Standard BD-R 25s are like a dollar, and that's sufficient for me to distribute a 4k film.
And then folks with 4k players could watch it. Or I could make it a 1080p file and then folks with a bluray player could watch it.
Bluray players can be had new for $50 or so, and used for $10 or so. 4k players ... run about $200 new, apparently, which is absurd.
But, I can get 32 GB flash drives for about $3, and then anyone with a computer could play the file.

Nowadays, everything that is pivotal is also needed to streamline something else. It seems quite a legit definition as well.

@matz no, in effetti di solito mi pare che usino le cifre tonde
