Picard was great! Romulans, Borg, Q, Data!! What more could you ask for?!
Been there. Done that. Even attended the “spawn till you die” festival in ‘98 but all I got was a stupid t-shirt.
Reader beware. Article is from 2022 and stuff has probably changed a lot. OpenBSD is currently in version 7.9, article talks about 6.6.
Also the PC Engines APU2 the author speaks about is EOL and no longer in production.
I do like how the article is clearly dated at the top. I believe all internet articles should be dated - it provides a huge amount of context imo.
> Later revisions of the PPU did offer RGB output options but most NES and Famicom systems had the single pin output.
Anyone have any insight on this? The article does not elaborate.
I have a “New-style” NES. Do I have the “upgraded” PPU?
20 year Dota player here. I always play support and I’m ok with low wealth/ low xp. High impact tho!
Only thing I’m good at carrying is wards.
I was gonnna click the link, but then I got high.
Excellent, memorable scene.
But it is Red who suggests it should be filed under ‘education’!
Genuine question: how did you conduct your job search? What steps did you take during those two years? Do you have a degree?
They can encrypt data coming out of both ends?!
Completely anecdotal, and mostly unrelated, but my NES from 1990 is still going strong. Two PS3’s that I have owned simply broke.
CRTs from 1994 and 2002 still going strong. LCD tvs from 2012 and 2022 just went kaput for no reason.
Old hardware rocks.
Hey bossman thanks for pointing this out. Will have to look for it next time I watch. Yam seng.

Awesome read. Ty for sharing.

A 32” Trinny. Nice. I have the 32” JVC D-series which I consider my crown jewel. It’s for retro gaming and I have a laserdisc player but a very limited selection of movies. Analog baby.
> Sadly though, as I get ready to take on a mortgage, it's likely most of my CRT's will be sold
Mortgage = space. You won’t believe the nooks and crannies you can fit CRTs into. Attic. Shed. Crawl space. Space under basement stairs. Heck, even the neighbors house. I have no less than 14 CRTs ferreted away in the house. Wife thinks I have only 5. Get creative. Don’t worry about the elements, these puppies were built to survive nuclear blasts. Do I have a sickness? Probably. But analog!!!
Hello fellow CRT owner. What is your use case? Retro video games? PC games? Movies?
Can you point me towards these ‘workarounds’ so I can learn more? TY.
I knew that TAS meant “a computer” but for those, like me, who forgot/ didn’t know, TAS stands for “tool-assisted speedrun”.
Perhaps this explains why I have a collection of over 10 CRT television sets squirrelled away in the various corners of my house…yes, I know it’s a sickness.
The Balrogs (Sindarin for ‘Demon of Might’; Quenya Valarauko) were Maiar (“Ainur of lesser degree than the Valar”). Other Maiar were Gandalf, Sauron, Melian. Gothmog and “Durin’s Bane” are the only two named.
Basically bad Maiar.

For those not in the know.
That site has an awesome text/font. Reminds me of a CRT screen with scan lines! Mind sharing?
