  • This might be a stupid answer, but uh… make more CRTs? There’s a niche shop for everything. Just like how new components for retro computers are made today (stuff like bootable flash cards for older stuff, creating better ways to achieve things), if there is a demand, there will be a market.

    I dunno how they’d be made but someone will figure it out. But I’m sure because it’s low-demand (comparatively), it will be high price.





  • Yes, we are. For a group that is supposed to be educating people on products, services, and how to use them, they are doing a really shit job at it. Being a dumbass with your own tech (not having file scrubbing setup on your production server for several years) is fine - stupid as hell, but fine, you’re only fucking yourself. But when they give people blatantly wrong information, misuse parts, and generally lead viewers astray - intentionally or not - they should be put in the spotlight, every time.

    You can get your information from wherever you please, but I prefer mine to be accurate and useful. I’m a disabled dude who is managing tech on a shoestring budget, for home and the family business, and the fact that I know more than just about everyone on their (camera-facing) team is fucking embarrassing. For a seven-digit+ group to be outclassed by a dude with a couple grand a year, holy shit lmao. And the gall and higher-than-thou attitude whenever they get called out. History repeats itself.

    I guess like home cooking shows and shopping networks, everything has an audience, but to pretend like they know what they are talking about, and that their viewers should soak up their wisdom, is just disingenuous.

    Oof. I have my VMs getting backed up to another machine so theoretically (untested) I should be able to recover with less than a day of data loss (very minimal for this box). The annoying part would be getting it hooked up to a monitor and keyboard, since it’s under an end-table in the living room.

    This is the first issue in like… 15 months? Hopefully it stays rather uneventful.
