Reminds you of the giant CRT monitors and sound cards, huh?

[–] sudo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I miss my absolutely enormous 28 inch CRT monitor. Pressing the degauss button sounded like some star ship taking off. And then one day my desk collapsed under the weight of the thing and it fell on top of my original Xbox. Other than a tiny dent on top of the Xbox, the monitor and console were totally fine.

God, I miss daily degaussing. The closest analog these days is manually updating block lists.

Degaussing was fun, but gaussing in the first place was where it was at. Nowdays you can wave magnets at your PC all day and nothing interesting or destructive will happen.

It is a little strange a magnet doesn’t do anything, not that I’ve tried lol. All those years have me trained to not do it.

I've killed so many kittens... And that was just today.

If you didn’t, PETA would’ve done it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
