when i was a teen i worked for a computer shop across the street from a farmers' co-op, they were still using their rs232 VT/server setup that they bought in the 80s when it was brand new. we used to do troubleshooting and repair for them when it would conk out a few times a year. they were definitely early adopters.

Why did it explode with a flash like that though I've destroyed plenty of 18650 packs and they don't flash like that, unless there's just something going on with how the camera captures bright light? In my experience poo poo just pops and burns violently

lithium batteries explode because when damaged they produce hydrogen and get hot. the initial flare is almost certainly the hydrogen quickly burning off, and then the rest of the car and the lithium metal itself catches fire. also the camera would react slowly yeah.

This terminal would connect to a phone line and an ordinary color television and allow the user access to near real-time information useful to their day-to-day operations on the farm. Motorola’s MC6847 Video Display Generator (VDG) chip was released about the same time as the joint venture started and it has been speculated that the VDG was actually designed for this project. At the core of the prototype “Green Thumb” terminal, the MC6847, along with the MC6809 Microprocessor Unit (MPU), made the prototype a reality by about 1978. Unfortunately, the prototype contained too many chips to be commercially viable. Motorola solved this problem by integrating all the functions of the many smaller chips into one chip, the MC6883 Synchronous Address Multiplexer (SAM). By that time in late 1979, the new and powerful Motorola MC6809 processor was released. The SAM, VDG, and 6809 were combined and the AgVision terminal was born. The AgVision terminal was also sold through Radio Shack stores as the VideoTex terminal around 1980. Internal differences, if any, are unclear, as not many AgVision terminals survive to this day."

Running filaments hot for more lumens per watt at the expense of bulb lifetime is the correct choice. It just so happens that the cartel did the right thing for entirely selfish reasons.
