2 GTA games landed on it. Think of how long that is. It was out for 11 years, nearly forever in console time. A literal generation of time passed.

So it’s in the perfect buy it now phase. Like when goodwill would have 4-5 Snes and a shopping bag of games for $20

Checking on this the HDMI can be converted to HD-SDI which is a digital signal. The BVM internal DAC’s are reported to be better than what game systems came with. However I’m not sure if it is worth the cost /effort.
It’s just that I have one, so in this case I wouldn’t have to drop ??? $$ to get a different retro system and a game. It also plays PS1 games so that opens things up a bit.

The last of the CRTs were 720/1080i. I didn’t have one but for HDDVD/ BD disks it was killer to watch compared to an LCD. Plasma was a very deep pocket purchase, even for someone who could afford an early PS3/Xbox 360 HDDVD.

Thanks. I had a working xbox 360 gifted from a friend the RROD on the first disk of Mass Effect 2

It launched in 2006. A 40" was still more than $1000. A 32" Crt TV could be had for $~400~300. I’m guessing a lot of these wound up attached to CRT tv’s

I don’t think that’s going to be in the cards. I might see if there are places I can rent/borrow one.
- Comment on I think unintentionally hit the jackpot. 23 hours ago:
it was on a crt when I first got it. It was some years before I got the LCD TV it was still hooked up to.

Do you have any xbox360 recommendations? I just found a broken one looking in the garbage.
- Comment on I think unintentionally hit the jackpot. 23 hours ago:
Is there a specific game?
- Comment on I think unintentionally hit the jackpot. 23 hours ago:
I was thinking of running the switch games though the crt.

The D24 is a 1080i monitor. I’d been reading around and it seemed that was a better way to connect it them the component cables.

Would the nintwndo switch remakes of the Square game through HDMI also carry the improved look?

I didn’t say comparable. I said good enough.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 6 days ago:
Ai does work great, at some stuff. The problem is pushing it into places it doesn’t belong.
It’s a good grammar and spell check. It helps me get a lot of English looking more natural.
It’s also great for troubleshooting consumer electronics.
It’s far better at search than google.
Even then it can only help, not replace folks or complete tasks.

If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.
It is the new metaverse.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 6 days ago:
20 years ago is when LCD’s got good enough compared to CRTs and plasma.
Not as good but I still have my $1k 40” Sony tv. It’s good enough I don’t think about how much better my OLED is when watching it.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 6 days ago:
The over the ear noise cancelling one’s are amazing as well
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
Sony’s main tech was in manufacturing. TCL will be getting a HUGE upgrade.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
So Sony is now the new RCA. This is a new low for the company. I can’t believe that they are gone just like that.
- Comment on You could convince evangelicals that AI is bad by saying it's converting children to satanism or making them gay 1 week ago:
Evangelicals are the specific exception. Scripture is gods holy word and how he shows them he loves them. it is a physical manifestation of gods love that they can experience anytime.
They take pride in reading and having memorization events. Anything getting in the way of that is SIN.
- Comment on You could convince evangelicals that AI is bad by saying it's converting children to satanism or making them gay 1 week ago:
Just tell them it’s stopping people from reading scripture and interpreting Jesus without the holyspirt. People are turning to AI assuming it’s Gods word and AI companies won’t stop it.

The box from my isp doesn’t support bridge mode. Maybe I am having the double nat problems?
- Comment on Looking for assistance on ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra 2 weeks ago:
I’ll need to check for this. I have the ISP box plugged into the wan port of the router. It shouldn’t also be handing out IP, but it very well may be.

In the USA I am stuck with the router from the isp. I have the ISP router plugged into the wan port of the cloud gateway

- Comment on macOS Tahoe icons do what Apple said designers should never do 2 weeks ago:
It’s a real stretch to look to the 1992 human interface guidelines. Long ago apple abandoned human interaction for the purpose of design.
It was amazing while it existed and I am glad for that early work where computers were designed to help people to work.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 2 weeks ago:
Zip disks at least the 100’s had the same tactile qualities, little door to fidget and label space all while having that satisfying clicking sound each time you used them.
