I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.

An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.

If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.

That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

    Its so annoying how hard it is to find blades for safety razors. Twice now I’ve flown somewhere with no blade in my razor hoping to find blades at the destination and had to either buy a disposable or get blades sent to an amazon locker.
