why are iso files so much larger than the files on the c.d. itself?

is there any way to stop it? or make the iso's smaller? the c.d. is 56.2 MB, the copy pasted files folder s 55.5 MB, but the iso created with imgburn is 256 MB? having an iso take up 256 MB or 1/4 GB of precious hard drive space for a mere 57 MB is a tremendous waste.

i asked anon before if copy pasting files from a c.d. was a good way to back them up and they're like make an iso instead so i do but then they're so large then it's difficult to justify them even being worth it.

so i'm torn apart between whether or not i should copy paste the files to make a backup or make these huge-ass iso's that eat up so much hard drive space. should i copy paste the files or make iso files?

please respond

thank you

Hey bros, why is this happening on /tv/? Should I be worried?

Evening /g/

Picked up a 15" macbook pro for 150 dollars that seemed unpassable at the time. Had a look and realised there was nothing worth doing with it, not really interested in learning a 3rd OS/ecosystem.

Promptly opened it up to check for hidden treasure and noticed a nice 250GB Samsung SSD and some not so nice 2GB DDR 10000 modules.

I've replaced the 2 ram modules with 8GB Samsung 16000 sticks and taken the 60GB SSD straight from my desktop and loaded it in.

Apple secures the SSD with blutac by the way.

So amazing it booted straight up. Windows update loaded a new display and motherboard firmware driver.

Found a compatible (toshiba) I think wireless driver.

Am now only left with the Facetime (c) (r) Retina (c) (r) (tm) adjacent cam and more importantly the USB bluetooth adaptor.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a bluetooth usb driver for this?

Don't want to fuck around with Bootcamp, don't have a running OSX anymore as old HD is already running as new desktop drive.

Also for anyone else in similar circumstances, any tips on what else to do? Right clicking on the nub pad? Swapping the FN/Ctrl keys? Damn lenovos at least had an option for that.

Cheers

So what does /g/ think of Samsung Gear VR now that the dust has finally settled?

Also general VR thread.

It seems kinda a waste to me, but it is what it is.

Anybody amazed with how cheap tech are nowadays? I just can't grasp how a portable computer with gps/wifi/camera can be this cheap.

I'm leaving /g/, I'm tired of getting banned all the time. "Then stoll beeing a dick" you say? I dont. I get banned for being off-topic 3 days and 3 days more for complaining about it.
I'm not the only one, too. If you don't believe, check the archives (https://rbt.asia/g/) and see how much is getting deleted, especially at desktop threads.
This isn't 4chan any more, and it seems /tech/ will be my new home, and seriously, I think you should follow and leave this place with me.

This thread may get deleted too, but really, I don't care anymore. I just wanted to say goodbye.
