I like this so much. I don’t know why but seeing technologies from different eras combined like this is like drugs to me.
I do too. One of my favorites was seeing someone playing fallout (don’t remember which one. 3?) on an era appropriate TV.
I personally enjoy this stuff a lot because I’m someone who doesn’t like to get rid of any tech. I still have all my old phones, consoles, TVs (I still frequently use a 720p plasma). I like seeing old stuff get repurposed and continuing to work.
“The medium is the message.”
I am pretty sure LGR did a video of that.
That is soooo metal thooo!!!
I had a Linux NAS connected to a huge CRT tv in a rental apartment (namely huge in the depth dimension). Had to buy a specific video card with an S-Video output. Watched films on it while tugging strings on a guitar.
P.S. Fun story, there was also a 60s-70s tv full of vacuum tubes just dumped on the balcony. I posted on the local forum, two guys replied, and both shown up together to haul the tv off and divide it between them.
Another time, a roommate left a CRT monitor with me, while I was already using laptops for everything. I drove it in my car to the nearest recycling point, at which a stranger intercepted me and said he’d gladly take it away for his son to tinker on.
