  • I'm not sure. Current "dumb" TVs do actually exist, just search for commercial TVs. All the major brands make them for commercial applications where the end user has no need for traditional smart apps. Sadly, they cost a bit more (but not by a ridiculous amount) and may not have the latest alphabet soup image tech, but they look fine and work great. They still run an OS, but it's stripped down to the bare essentials, usually just settings and input, not usually any apps. If any apps are installed, they're unobtrusive and geared toward their intended purpose. I've been tempted to buy one, but the larger the TV the wider the price gap. The sweet spot seems to be at 65".

  • Idk, even the oldest HDTVs used RAM, sadly.

  • I'm tired of this! How can we start our own RAM foundry--is that the right term? Surely there's a YT tutorial somewhere.

  • That's awesome, sounds like we made identical configurations! For the original roller, I ended up having to widen the part with the spoke 1mm so that my bearings would roll, but it seemed like such a waste to use 4 per box. It wasn't until a few weeks later I came across cmyk's solution. I really like it except it is a bit difficult to get a nut to interface with a screw. I think I have the knack down now. Really, I could almost see not using a screw and nut with it since it fits together so tightly, but if I didn't do it, it would probably come apart at the worst time during a print.

  • Ahh, the Prussian Curse!

  • Nice! I really like these boxes based upon that cereal box, but you have to watch out, there are copycats of the Wildone. This is the one you should buy (and appears to be the one you used): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NP98YKY.

    At first, I accidentally purchased ones by "MCIRCO." Despite having almost the exact same product pictures, they are not the same.

  • Nope, I don't see any recent reviews.

  • I read your comment and moved on, then my brain was like, "Wait, backup!" I need a full version of this parody. 😆

  • "Etsy witches." So that's what hitmen are calling themselves online now?

  • It's for the Right reasons.

    Sorry, I'll see myself out.

  • Give it a go and let us know what you think! I used it for a while, and the biggest annoyance was trying to use YouTube with it where videos increasingly were more difficult to load for some reason. I blame Google for that, honestly.

  • One can dream 😭

  • We're not even a quarter of the way through this...

  • Shit, I've got 4.

  • Hey, Microsoft said 10 was the last version of Windows...

  • $90/mo for 1Gbps up and down for me in a 30k town for me. I also have two fiber providers, one cable, and wireless as options. I realize I'm more of the exception than the rule. When I first moved here, 50Mbps cable was my only option.
