try thrifting if that’s an option near you!
babe i’ve given BOTH of us a great idea. i’ve still got my very first big ass CRT. i’d love to give it life again.
bonus points if you reuse the old DVI hookup as a video out. TIL regular-ass DVI can handle 1920x1200 @ 60hz!
do folks do pc builds inside of old CRT cases? that seems like a niche that should exist.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Why do some programmers love emacs so much
31·2 years agothere’s something so funny about them both being apple products, but the offending party getting the disrespect of “this stupid antique computer”
anytime a stellar product is released there’s a glut of shittier alternatives and replacements, sometimes from the same company even. higher ups notice REAL QUICK when they shorten their average upgrade cycle from 1-3 years to something like 5-10.
shit always loops back around to planned obsolescence. if you don’t do it, you will not succeed.
i’m so tried of snoop
that’s how goes in like every mmo i’ve ever played
shit-flipper-insatiable they used to call me
oh my god i would’ve flipped my shit.
wtf when did we get culture
i think they’re generally unserious, but i reckon professional troll is a harsh assessment.
i forgot those later filmpacks had batteries, golly what a boondoggle! at least polaroid is making em first party again, maybe someday it’ll be an affordable medium lmao
lmao we’ve had opposite experiences! i bought 2 old-ass polaroid land cameras that were perfectly functional, and took probably 50 pictures on each of em before the prices on fp-100c film started creeping above $1 per shot.
the impossible project continues to make type 100 film, but they currently charge ~$50 for THREE shots. for context the discontinued fp-100c filmpacks come in 10 packs and would run you ~$100 today. upsettingly high, but STILL CHEAPER than the modern replacement :c
i’ve happened into SO MUCH vintage audio gear this exact way hahahah
if you can’t keep your entire music collection in the player, what’s the point?
you can occasionally find these at goodwills or on ebay for like $70, 90% of the time they just need new belts for the carousel. they even have a special port on the back that lets you daisychain two of em together and share outputs, AND they read home-burned cd-text. it’s a physical media pirate’s dream machine lol


this you?
