This just triggered a memory of the smell of the TV cooling down
Like a metallic smell with crackle of electric in the air. And touching the screen as it cooled down and you could feel little tingles of charge leaping at your fingertips. Thinking back now, fat screens were really weird.
Perhaps the smell of ozone? CRTs also produced a tremendous amount of static too. I remember playing with the static on my monitor when I was younger. CRTs were pretty cool. Very weird, too.
If you thought the static on the OUTSIDE was fun… Never disconnect a cathode tube assembly from the power board without discharging EVERYTHING first. It’s lethal. https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc

(Apologies. Idk how to do piped links)
(Edit: tracker removed. Thank you!)
Here’s the link without site tracking: https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc
I don’t know how to do piped links either. Isn’t there a bot for that? I see it sometimes, but not every time.
There’s extensions to automatically redirect. Just post the youtube link, piped users can figure out how to get it to pipe.
I don’t know if it’s the same with piped but in libretube app settings you can set it to open YouTube links by default
Oh yeah, I’ve long heard of their terrifying capacitors and other stuff. I’d never service one x3
