  • 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…




  • A friend of mine bought a new Model 3 at launch here in Germany. He had to drive a couple of hundred kilometers to pick it up in a city with a port. When he arrived, he was escorted to a warehouse with 100s of Teslas in it. His was actually outside in the parking lot. He was told that he could inspect the car for one hour to find potential faults like panel gaps, scratches in the paint or runny paint (it had been raining the night before and the car was still wet lol).

    He found two fault which were going to be sorted out for him no charge. He told me this while we were sitting in the vehicle and I said “oh, so stuff like this scratch in the dashboard here?” and he looked at it and said “… I haven’t even noticed that one -_-”

    All in all a very strange way to sell a car and pretty unheard of, especially here in Germany and with a brand new car.
