We have this old glass square tray thing with a glass cover that we use. We leave the butter out and it’s spreads great. We live in quite a cold climate (extreme North of Scotland), so it’s ideal. Perhaps not the best idea in Dubai…

I mean, in terms of abhorrent future nazi hellscape merch, gotta say, it’s a decent design.

I watched this with my son last night. Quite enjoyed it. I find the cadences of the narrator’s voice oddly soothing, although ironically it sounds very like an AI voice.

I wouldn’t use my Amiga, ST, ZX Spectrum or Mega drive on anything other than my CRT. They were designed for that pixel blur and playing on a modern TV is just not the same. I hadn’t realised the difference it made until i tried it and now I can never go back to using an LCD for any of my 80s/90s devices.

However, beyond that somewhat niche use, CRTs are otherwise entirely pointless and basically a worse display experience in every concievable way when your source is anything produced after the advent of HDMI/Display Port.

Wow. I’m sometimes perceived as a nerd, but you guys make me feel like James Bond. I salute you.
