    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

          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
