We don't have cable, so I checked out #CBC #Gem for the Olympics

What the actual f*ck? This is our national broadcaster!? ELEVEN ads?? How are people OK with this!!?

The upper left corner of a tv screen, showing some ad with two people's heads visible.

The writing reads "Ad 4 of 11".

My gawds, whomever is in charge of the #CBC #GEM #AppleTv app for the #olympics should be ashamed. If you pause, the screen changes to an ad. Fast forward or rewind you get ad. You can't pause to see a photo finish, and you can't fast forward to a specific athlete since you can't see what you're skipping through. Brutal.

Dear Friends of tiny monitors,

My first monitor was a second-hand Reuters green screen. The screen went after a few years and a friend ordered and installed a new (CRT) Cathode Ray Tube. Kind.
Then came an amber monochrome for my first 386SX to run DOS, Gem and eventually MS Windows version 1. Then all of a sudden I had to have colour. No more monochrome options available except second hand. Que?

Jim-enemy Cricket!

Did not need colour as my printer was monochrome inkjet. Much better than colour dot matrix of the time.

So at the moment I am using a 17" AOC (no not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) Nope good quality for its time colour monitor. It'll do for me to type in words. My original use of computers.

Quite interesting to go through ones computer history... :cyber_hacking: :0dd_verified: :tux:

I realized I swapped the position of the left and right connectors that will be connected in the original EPROMs sockets in the #GEM #S2. I'm glad I checked, that would have been an expensive mistake to fix... #electronics #DIY #PCB #Turbokit

A surprise find of decorative stone and metal designs in an otherwise boring prehistoric archaeological site, with blue and pink stone embedded with gold filigree, a round iridescent gemstone, and oceanic motifs.
