CDs are safer than the cloud
Last two times I've ordered from Target and the item was actually out of stock, they offered to ship it for free. YMMV.
Brings me back to 2005

Is there a way to get these to work with a chromebook? I have a friend who called me last night looking for one of these for his wife to use with her Chromebook, as that's the only pc they have.

I can't my chromebook to play commercial DVDs with one of these, even using VLC in Linux. Research showed ChromeOS does not have a decryption codec needed for that.

Who's using cloud? I use hard drives. I have several copies of the same data.
Hard drives are not as stable as some high quality disks like M Disks. Im 35. Im wanting something that I feel more confident will last 30 to 40 years to store my family photos. Yeah, you could backup on multiple drives, but there's some maintenance cost, and inspection needed for 10s of thousands of photos and videos

build private cloud, do not use public cloud
A lot of apps and services wont sync to a private cloud. So some things you need to use that for, but private cloud is the way to go if you have the means/time/knowhow

That's the number of DVDs I would need in order to back up my backed up data.
