SwiftOnSecurityI'm a millennial in their 30's which means I'm thinking of buying a big old computer CRT monitor and then psychologically conditioning my stress to dissolve when I hit the degauss button.
They took everything from us
Simonoid@SwiftOnSecurity I had an office that had dozens of 21" CRTs. Poor bastards were put next to unshielded desk fans. They faught valiantly 🪦
leah & tigers & bears, oh my!@simonoid @SwiftOnSecurity ooh, i used to have one of those! it was *massive* - and after a couple of years of my eldest boycat sitting on top of it and batting lazily at passing pointers, the top few lines developed a flicker.
there's no power on earth would make me go back to the CRT era! the *only* saving grace of CRTs was that, being all analogue, you could feed them funny bit clocks and they wouldn't alias them to shreds, which is handy when you're trying to hack a $3 microcontroller to make a screen display at the edge of its output specification - and even then, that's more than made down for with the aperture grille in colour CRTs
