Welp… There goes physical media…

I guess hard drives and SSDs don’t count as physical somehow?

Even on a streaming service, the files are stored physically somewhere.

All media is still, technically, physical media.

Even when you stream it locally and don’t have access to the file itself, it physically lives in your RAM for the duration of the stream.

the term “physical media” typically refers to portable physical media, such as floppy disks, optical media, and other solutions such as tape.
