Happy 💾

i definitely did, but they haven’t interested me much in my adulthood

okay, I must admit.. i sorta kinda get the appeal of VHS. this feels neat.

i could be doing anything else with my day but i’m spending hours buffing and polishing the glass screen on a 29 year old television. feliz jueves

if my late teens-early 20’s were defined by having an insatiable sweet tooth, my late 20’s have been defined by a salt-tooth. I am gang sodium. give me pringles give me pickles give me ramen.. i <3 salt

now i must draw it obviously

Well, Ye Olde Panoso here had such a thoroughly scratched and destroyed front glass that he is now going to be my personal science experiment to test all manner of theories i have on abrasive CRT glass polishing/scratch removal techniques

why did i say toshiba. it’s a panasonic. my back still hurts

hey, this is a great video! thanks for the recommendation!

Very rare… Never heard of this brand…. must be valuable

i do consider myself very lucky and i sorely wish more people had access to places like this

Today’s find, a lovely 27” Toshiba PV-M2767! Found in the back of a box truck- which was parked at the back of the junkyard.. 350 yards from the entrance. nearly 3 football fields! Anyways, it works great, but the screen is very deeply scratched. Might be fixable? my back hurts…

wind waker is the best zelda i think

i always get such a kick out of “guess it was worth a shot” marketplace listings like this

i’ve never in my life had a hobby quite so frustrating as far as acquiring said hobby items goes

the fact that there are so many CRT’s people actively don’t want/care about that they willingly have given to a local disposal facility… just sitting there.. right now. and i’m not allowed to go and take even one……… just another example of the unfair world we live in TT__TT

(at least i hope)
also- i found some lifted pads that were presumably a casualty of the obvious hard-knocks this thing has taken. Had to run a couple bodge-wires for those. Not my prettiest work, but the TV seems to finally be happy. yay!

Alright, well. the never ending saga of the Side-of-the-road Samsung continues. after some further use it began to noticeably have a “flagging” effect (horizontal distortion when lots of colors were being displayed) as well as having some front IO bugginess. it is now 100% FULLY re-capped & fixed…

I do this when I'm bored

small world! that’s fun :]

they are quite charming!

ah, maybe i’m just paranoid. idk, i’m a super nervous person so it’s a bizarre feeling to have a following suddenly after years of enjoying relative obscurity

i used to post selfies a lot but i got weirded out one day and wiped them after my youtube channel got big enough to intimidate me. kind of a weird position i never expected myself to be in

Mother 3 is really really good btw

Always been obsessed with Boeings official promotional stickers from the early 90’s featuring their commercial aircraft depicted as Silly Little Guys ™
Truly the artist responsible for these was decades ahead of their time

I gotta hand it to this eMachine 400i3’s crystal CS4281 integrated sound chip, i believe it officially has the worst DOS emulation i’ve ever heard. Impressive! I don’t even think the IBM Mwave sounds this horrendous!

would this be considered a good dream or a bad dream? true question

i genuinely woke up this morning thinking i’d found an IBM P275 monitor behind a home depot

anyone else have dreams where they stumble across a bunch of rare things that they really want for free/super cheap?

it’s crazy how much conscious effort it takes to not allow myself to turn nocturnal. you’d think the human brain would much more easily adjust itself to the sun being up/down, but when given more than 5 days off work it becomes a real struggle to keep my sleep schedule intact

i really don’t know why i bother with goodwill anymore. I have NEVER gotten a single console, PC, or CRT from a plain old goodwill. I’ve been going for 10 years. I think I bought a lamp once, that’s about it. This is *always* the state of my local goodwills “electronic section”. always.
