C.H.O.M.E posted:vga glyphs are stored in a lookup table so if that is broken i would expect it to replace the letters with consistently the wrong letter, like a cipher that substitutes o for g, but it doesn't look like it is doing that, it sometimes displays the correct o then sometimes replaces o with g. however it also displays a full word incorrectly twice in the same way (the word normally) so something repeatable is happening, maybe there is a hysteresis involved so that it fucks up a letter depending on what the last letter was, or a state machine that is out of wack. or the source text could just be hosed up but then i don't know how you'd end up repeating the same errors like that. I had that and it was faulty soldering on the graphics chipset. some of the letters would flash back and forth randomly too

BACK IN MY DAY we used to get schematics included in the owner's manual of electronics you bought and there were TV/VCR repair shops everywhere and everyone remembers those correspondence course ads on the TV looky box that advertised TV/VCR repair classes or radio repair but LOL if you can find a single repair shop. just look at how many new security screws have been made in the past 10 years. i had to buy a $100 screwdriver kit just to get into all this bullshit i own

Robot Pride posted:planned obsolescence is actually a real reason millennials suck so many nutbags (the ones allergic to nuts just suck on the peen shaft) This is wrong as hell. mass planned obsolescence was in vogue 50s into the 80s at latest. Pretty none of that actually happens today. Boo hoo you can't fix your TV? Well it probably lasted a long time with no repair needed. 1960s TV set? In theory still works today, as long as you had 50 years of access to ever dwindling parts and weeks of time for all the necessary repair. Or look how the average car on the road is 12 years old. In the 60s it'd be more like 4 or 5 because those poo poo buckets needed hella repair and maintenance constantly. And most people would just get a new one

To reiterate though, appliances used to require repair so frequent that TV places came to your home like plumbers and even medium size cities would have dozens of TV repairmen to keep up with constant demand. And your other devices wouldn't fare much better, fridges, radios, washing machine, dishwasher etc - they all used to have major problems constantly.

on that vice motherboard thing. . . all i gotta say is I have a user making "HIGH END SCIENTIFIC MACHINES" with those loving gamer motherboards (his are by gigabyte) what the gently caress is with the right angle sata ports? on technology kids, etc. . . I'm I guess a millenial (1983 wut!) and I had a friends 7 year old over here yesterday, he was bouncy, hyperactive as gently caress, his mom was over here chilling with a bunch of us listening to records and grilling. . . he asked me what the music was coming from, cause he's fuckin 7 and literally had never seen music being played from something not a phone. I put the kid in front of the turntable and was like "look at it, tell me how you think it works?" "well i think there is music on the disc, and that thing picks up the music signals" "yep, you wanna try putting one on?" "where are there" took the kid inside, he was like "how do you know what to listen to?" "oh you pull things out and look at them, for now just pull them out like this, if you think it looks cool, i'll let you put it on" He pulled out a thin lizzy album, asked me where I got all my albums "well kiddo, my momma is a lot older than your momma, and while I've bought a lot of these, she had a lot she didn't have a thing to play them on anymore" Then I put him in front of the turntable, and outside of initially putting the needle in the center of the record he quickly went "OH!" and moved it to the outside, then rocked out and danced his little 7 year old rear end off and had the time of his life.
