my brother who most people would be hard pressed not to call a hipster (i've known him his whole life way before that word so idk) collects vhs tapes and vcrs

interesting to visit him and see like just stacks of physical media

and good poo poo too, i'm not a snob for resolution and aspect ratio i just like a good viddy

also surprisingly recent stuff, maybe it's part of being old cuz i stopped watching vhs back in the late 90s but they kept making the stuff after dvds

reel to reel tapes were the original high fidelity music and afaik still outperform CDs in objective ways, of course lose in others, but it's like the "vinyl sounds good" argument times a thousand amplified when it comes to tape

it's a good format for what it is, compact cassettes tho kinda set the bar really low for what it could do

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
radio stations often used SVHS decks in the 90s for overnight recorded shows, as the fidelity was better than cassette, you couldnt fit the shows on a cart and a SVHS tape could run 8-10h or so

magnetic tape is our longest-lived reasonable digital archival format
