      I’m not even sure I want to be however smart I am the way things are going. I think I’d rather just be happy I’m not on fire or something.

      Agreed, as soon as a diy company starts making affordable CRTs with modern I/O, I’ll invest every penny I can

        CRTs? What’s the advantage there, other than nostalgia?

          The ability to play Duck Hunt, surely.

          Faster refresh rate, good for gaming, I’m told. Older games actually look better with scanlines. I haven’t seen any appreciable difference with the input lag tho.

            120Hz would have been a fantastic refresh rate when I was using CRTs, and 240 would be unthinkable. I can understand nostalgia for older games, but I can’t imagine other benefits vs. modern flat panel.

          Modern TVs hurt my eyes after a while, but CRTs don’t for some reason. Plus, I like the display more. As I type this, my eyes are bloodshot and tearing up from looking at my tv for a couple hours

      I used to love smart things. I don’t have the give a shit to set up a local voice assistant and do not trust the companies who put out smart things. So now I have the smart bulbs and can turn the lights on and off with an app, but nothing else.
