Plasma was replaced by OLED in the high contrast emissive screen game at some point in the past decade.

plasma also makes HAM nerds angry because they produce a ton of RF noise due to the high voltage nature of the displays

I think this model was like $5k in 2007 but It was 25 bux from FB marketplace. I think I spent about 40 bux on wheels, the stainless steel channeling and assorted bolts. I got lucky with the tv stand as it was on the sidewalk by my place and was stout enough to let gravity hold everything together. Thing is surprisingly more balanced then the old TV/vhs carts from high school. I've decided to call it The Monolith.

Jonny 290 posted:most ppl with a 61" tv in the US live in more than a room? idk. Still it's just so goddamn massive . But perhaps those are my dainty European sensibilities being worried about trivial things like ~aesthetics~ and not about watching The Big Game with my friends on a massive screen. fwiw I own a 55" oled so it's not the screen size that I'm on about, but the sheer volume of rear projection tv's.

They're still big but the DLP ones are at least somewhat smaller than the ridiculously huge CRT rear-projection TVs.

Can anyone recommend a decent budget scope? It used to be all rigol all day, but now there's Siglent and Uni-T and Owon and whatnot. I would like it to have 4 channels, some serial protocol decoding, at least 100MHz and it would be nice if it was hackable to unlock features. A lot of the reviews online are biased imo because the scopes will have been provided by the mfg.

Did some work on my old Apple //e Platinum today. Recapped the PSU, tested the DuoDisk drive unit and gave the heads a clean on it (seems to be working fine) and installed a Booti card. The Booti card allows most disk images for the // series to be run off an USB stick drive. There's some stuff it can't run, but with my lack of knowledge on OSes for the // series, I get confused with ProDOS and DOS 3.3 stuff. All in all it is all working fine. Happy the Applecolor monitor is working, it is a rare thing in Australia. Even the analogue joystick I got this month works fine with it, even though in one section of the cable it has been cut apart and there's bare wires.

my TMS34010 knowledge is finally useful the source code for a bunch of Midway arcade games is on GitHub now I spent the evening fixing NARC’s tree and getting it to play nice with my TI toolchain and was rewarded with a working set of program ROMs (minus compressed graphics I’m still working on that) I also hacked the high score board to say trans rights because why not https://twitter.com/LuigiThirty/status/1380032821213995012?s=20

gonna buy another external SSD for my pi so i can shove more legally obtained media onto it also briefly entertained the idea of tossing it in a chilled vat of mineral oil so i can also use it to transcode my movies to webms to save space but im still not sure on that im also going to buy a gigabit ethernet adapter for it and im also considering making a lovely little DOS that does barely anything just for the e-peen

ds920+ with the celeron. bump the ram to 12 gigs (comes with 1 slot of 4g, takes sodimms) and put a couple 256 SSDs in the m.2 slots for a cache layer to make your time machine backups fly, too. note that you'll need a plex pass for quicksync support but it'll do it

one may gently caress around with any number of janky decommissioned servers for their VMs and dockers and whatever horseshit, but the most yospos take is to leave your actual network storage to trained professional products that have no fuckery or chance of you zeroing out 9t of anime with the wrong mdadm command

Thanks Jonny for the rec. I have an old cobbled together sever that runs FreeNAS with ZFS and I haven't turned it on in at least two years because it's a hassle to janitor. It has 2 4tb drives in mirror mode. I'm going to get the new nas and put 2 12TB drives in there and add the two 4TB ones.
