i grew up in northern canada and the only stations we got were strictly local, i imagine in the 70s and 80s you couldn't tune to a dead channel in those countries

i never got into any of the zip drives but last time i used a floppy disk was in 2003 when i had to get a resume printed at staples for a job interview in a couple hours, lol it was truly some dark times. the disk had a read error so i had to rush home and burn it onto a cd and i remember thinking it felt so wasteful. i didn't get the job either

also when i was a kid (probably not now, hearing loss) I could hear the whine from any CRT when it was turned on. If the TV was on mute and I was in the other room, I could tell you if it was switched on or not. seemed like a cool superpower at the time but it was probably not very uncommon.

Boody posted:That disk with all the ID games was attached to a lot of PC magazines at the time. In the UK at least. pretty sure that's where i got it, in canada tho. it was rad because it also had the quake 1 soundtrack that could play in a regular CD player. it was really magical feeling to me as a kid at the time, that a demo cd could contain the full versions of all those games plus all of that music.

Sagebrush posted:Physical separation of circuit modules!! Labels on the board!! Look at all those clearly marked trimpots!! God I miss when all electronics were built this way. You could literally use this board in an electronics 102 course. it was probably as glamourous as being a computer janitor, but you could probably make a decent living running an electronic repair shop in the 70s and 80s. now all you see is the places that will fix your phone screens.

Mr.Radar posted:FYI, while Shango knows his stuff wrt CRT TV restoration, he's also prone to occasionally interject random racist and transphobic comments/"jokes" into his videos. He doesn't do it on every video, but if you watch enough of them you'll eventually run into one where he does. He's also against COVID lockdown measures though I don't think he's a full-blown antivaxxer. sounds like a typical out of touch boomer

lol @ scoffing at the cost of toner when it doesn't dry out like ink when you don't print anything for 6 months and a full color inkjet set of replacement cartridges is easily over $120 ( ) and the printer refuses to print anything at all even a text doc when any of the color cartridges are lowi bought a brother b&w laser printer the starter toner thing it came with lasted for loving ever polyester concept fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Dec 8, 2022 |
