TOOT BOOT posted:Was DAT ever used for anything besides recording bootlegs? I'm pretty sure this is the only context I've ever heard it mentioned in. At one of my workplaces we had a DAT SCSI drive for backing up servers. I think I know who still has that drive and all the tapes Here's my current HIFI setup (sorry about the lovely image quality)  I still need to get a record player, however most of the players I want are silver/aluminium coloured

I think Technics makes a series of black record players, and afaik there's also a Thorens TD160 or 166 that is available in black. Be VERY careful when buying a direct drive Technics like an SL-D2 or similar. They sound great, but they often show variations in speed that do not go away, not even when cleaning all the speed control potentiometers and switches. Listen through at least one full record side at the seller's place before buying.

Culture difference i guess. Hifi buffs over here are all too eager to show you their poo poo here and check out the thing you're buying. At least if it's 100 euro or more, which those SL-D[n]s are now. For cheap stuff? Don't complain if it ain't perfect.

I just downloaded Quake 2 Remastered on Xbox Game Pass and played Quake 2 online multiplayer for the first time since probably 2001. It’s a tremendous remake in 4K, and has set off an extremely fun memory flashbang right in my face. It includes the original expansion packs as well as a new expansion pack (and Quake II 64!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwgW9tj-Tmc

Those were the days when the Gateway Destination monitor was the largest screen I could imagine ever having been hooked up to a computer in human history Nowadays that would be such a disappointing downgrade, yet somehow having a 48" screen in actuality was never as mindblowing as merely glimpsing a 31" screen

I wondered what the "data" part of "data/video input" was supposed to be, and from this review it seems to refer to an "e-box" which is a receiver that does this: quote:The Electronics Box is the accessory that transforms the Flat TV from a monitor to a truly high performance television that is only 5 inches deep! The e-box adds amazing features like Dynamic Noise Reduction, Digital Crystal Clear, Active Control and Digital Natural Motion. These features can be found in all of our quality segment televisions and to see them on a flat monitor is truly a marvel of modern technology. The e-box also offers a dual tuner, split screen Picture-in-Picture and six separate wide screen modes, including auto-format. (via https://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=1309912)
