I still have this one!

I have a sony mini cassette video camera. Got a new battery for it and works like a dream. Really fun to record modern events in that format.

I also have a Sears VHS video camera. Working on getting a battery for that.

Too many CRTS

It’s a good time being a Junkman

Ah shoot you’re right, got it for next time. Thanks for the sub!

Did someone say CRT??? https://lemmy.world/c/crtart

This is a really neat idea! Has anyone tried it?

I thought I was going crazy, thanks for explaining how saved sorting works

Thanks for responding, I don’t necessarily have any risk, but just didn’t want to open myself up to anything since I didn’t quite understand what information could be taken. Better safe than sorry approach you know?

But good to know that in being selective in permissions can mitigate some issues. I worry about a few family members who are not tech literate at all and use rail travel for work that puts them around people in masse and frivolously give permissions to their devices in different vehicles.

I believe if it’s an unsanctioned wildcat strike they can fire without it being retaliation, but if it’s a strike backed by the NLRB they have to prove it isn’t retaliation and I don’t think the days gone by an official strike counts here. I could be wrong but that is what I remember about wildcat strike differences

Id recommend the next step would be CRT(the old tube tvs) repair! So many are tossed every day where most just need a simple tube swap or alignment.

They are big dangerous things though so definitely read up and study up so you don’t get fried or seriously injured.

They add a lot to the old game systems and harm the enviorment from improper dispoal. Save a CRT 💚

Not always, some warehouses (like the one I used to be at) stow products based off size. For example, could have RAM, ball point pens, phone cases, chocolate bars and everything else that fits into a small pull out cubby on a shelf shoved into one space.

So the stower scans the item, then scans the space on the shelf space they think they can fit it in. The Picker who bundles orders together is given the task to find the RAM you ordered. They are told it’s in X aisle in X cubby. They have to dig through the most random garbage that is shoved into this space because the stower before is given like 2 minutes per item to find space.

Sometimes just to keep their efficiency numbers up the stower will scan the item, scan the space, and never put the item on the shelf bc space was limited. So that item ends up in an adjacent space that they eventually found room for the item and the picker is unaware so they may just have scanned whatever item was closest they could get away with and kept it moving so they don’t get backed up. It was a mess of a way to do things.

195 was a general dump anything and everything subreddit. Went on a for a long while like 5+ years, started buy a guy and his roommate matt. Suddenly like 2018 a message appeared sticked to the top that said “social experiment completed” and the sub was locked. People moved to both 196 and 197. At the end of 195 it shifted more twords right wing bigotry type memes and screenshots. 196 added a rule to the only rule, bigotry screenshots were restricted to Saturdays which filtered out a lot of hateful content and the void of which was filled with positive more uplifting screenshots and memes. Without the fear of opening up a post and having it be the most bigoted take on something and calling it a meme the posters were able to put out their pride without the fear of hate in return.

The users who wanted to post the bigoted memes went to 197 since they were restricted to Saturdays only. Helped create a divide in 195s two posting groups and overall make 196 the place to be.

Sorry for wall of text but finally some niche lore I could contribute to.
