I don't want smart appliances. I don't even want a smart TV.

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?

[–] TomAwsm 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] gnate 3 points 9 months ago

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.
