I have an LG 55C8 and was able to root it (somebody figured that out last year or so). I don’t know if you still can root your model, but I’d look into it! There’s a patched YouTube app which incorporates ad block and even sponsor block! It single handedly prevented me from buying an Android box and skipping the TV’s smart features altogether.

I’m visiting other companies for work every now and then.

If they are in a fancy new steel-and-concrete office building with open space offices, chances are that cell reception is very bad. I once was in an office where I’m certain they had installed cell blockers on the toilets.

Ja, kann man so klein reden. Aber meine Herren, wenn ich in meiner eigenen Wohnung überfallen und zusammengeschlagen werde und dann auch noch meine Frau oder Freundin attackiert wird… Ich will hoffen, dass er ein hohes Strafmaß bekommt. Wird sicherlich nicht so hoch ausfallen, wie ich mir das wünsche. Der kann eigentlich für länger weg, oder braucht den noch jemand draußen?

If you have the space, I highly recommend just getting a mid-sized CRT for the lulz :D It’s such a fun hobby. I went down the rabbit hole a little too hard in 2016 and have to downsize now. But I’d still get one to play around with while they’re still available for a couple of bucks (I hear it has gotten harder in the US already).

Nah, those phosphor strips of that screenshot on the left are plenty coarse to be achievable with a consumer grade CRT. Throw in the fact that European sets pretty much all had RGB and it’s pretty realistic. Although most of us only heard about RGB cables with the advent of chipped PS1s and pirated NTSC discs (they oftentimes only displayed in black and white and RGB cables were the widely known fix for that).

EDIT oh by the way, the community CRTgaming also made it over here to Lemmy :-) I’ll have to post some content there…

I’ll check this out, thanks!

Very nice, thanks for the write up!
