That got me curious:

Netflix officially ended its DVD‑by‑mail service on September 29, 2023, marking the final day when physical discs were shipped out to subscribers . The service, which began in 1998, had been winding down for years as streaming overtook physical rentals.

Some key highlights:
• The shutdown announcement came on April 18, 2023, when Netflix confirmed the closure date   .
• By the final shipment on September 29, fewer than one million customers remained, and Netflix even offered “farewell discs” — up to 10 extra DVDs for loyal subscribers .
• Subscribers got to keep whatever discs arrived in that last envelope .

So, the disc-mailing chapter of Netflix closed on September 29, 2023 — the end of a 25‑year journey from postal pioneer to streaming pioneer.

The other day my wife said “you’re not even listening, are you?” And I thought ‘what an odd way to start a conversation’.
