Aren’t the Pixma ones always pretty expensive as they’re a good chunk better than the base printers they sell for like $80 just to get you locked in to buying ink.

I'd settle for one of those Canon thermal jobs that prints it like a label printer, but even those run $100 these days. I really want to get my janky handwriting off these discs, but not $100 badly.

Right?? I'm reminded of when we needed a dot matrix printer for the phone log system at my last hotel. When I went shopping for them the price for even used ones was up to $400+, vs the previous price of "I'll pay *you* to get this poo poo out of my house" Just bring back lightscribe guys, plz

the algorithm turned up something unbelievably cool for once, a group of ukrainian retro computer enthusiasts trying to restore old soviet computers from around the time of chernobyl and hopefully get a mainframe working again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy50mU1VLj0 (link to intro, the series has like eight videos so far)

I think I would be content to take that setup wholesale and just put it on top of the world's longest computer desk and call it a day. I mean granted I am no Audio Man but I was still using the speakers from my late-1990s Sony amp on my computer until last year so surely it would hook up no problem

It’s mildly perplexing to me how that component stack can play nearly every form of audio media known to early 90’s man (records, tapes, CDs, and I think minidisc) yet there’s no VCR for the TV.

r u ready to WALK posted:I'd love to own a giant stupid old stereo rack from the 90s if people weren't trying to sell them for $texas Just be aware that the reason for their existence is just to look impressive and do 'boom'. If that's what you want that's absolutely fine, no judgment here, just don't expect them to sound as nice as the niche audio stuff you can find for those amounts of money. The Kenwoods have a cone tweeter - something most brands already phased out in the late 1960s. Some folks call them 'Kabuki' speakers, perhaps stemming from the performative aspects of having 3 or 4 way speaker systems, huge woofers, and being very present in the room in general. Or perhaps just because some casually racist greybeard thought 'Hahah japanese speaker, japanese word!'. On thinking about it, it might just be the latter... At the very least the search term 'kabuki speaker' might help you find a pair you like if you wanna throw whiskey and cocaine-fueled parties while lounging with some hot ladies/gents in the conversation pit.

Tiny Timbs posted:I think that's just a camera angle/lighting thing. You can tell on the right speaker it's not very opaque. Nah, look closely. The nearest speaker has a "Kenwood" logo on the bottom, the furthest-back doesn't. They definitely took the screen off to show off the cones. My recollection is the screens were easily removable, so it doesn't bother me that much
