I hope you like your goddamn tenure and your students and your millions of math department winnings and your cocaine and your midnight blood rituals.

    back when CRTs were still a thing, he lived in your monitor and fucked up the color and that's what happened when you degaussed your monitor

    (actually he's a mathematician.  he did a lot of stuff.  i think he did stuff with magnetism and that's where degauss comes from)

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Aw man the degauss button, I loved that thing

    It was fun to do it in front of people who had no idea what it was and watch them freak out as you made the computer screen go all funky

    I wonder if future generations will think of CRTs as some kind of dinosaur technology

    The way we view, say, electronics with vacuum tubes

    I'm sure Gauss is as Not Even Wrong about magnets as Violent J is.

    I don't think that you're allowed to use science nerd lingo if you're going to use a thread to bitch about science nerds.

    Stop using your logic on my cartoonish outrage.

    is that why Gauss Rifles are called that?

    what about Gaussian blur?

    We can do anything if we do it together.

    I already do and I grew up with them

    Yes, Gauss wrote the theory on magnetic accelerators
    Imipolex G said:

    Yes, Gaussian blur is the application of a Gaussian function (bell curve)

    I probably would too if not for the fact that I still use them

    (Is it just me, or do CRT TVs seem to last fucking forever?)

    ok, well, they last forever if you don't do that to them

    I think of CRTs as dinosaur technology, and I owned some.

    I still have a CRT in here for my Apple IIgs, since it uses analog 15k RGB, and monitors that can handle that are very hard to find now.

    Me, too, now that I think of it. I still have one sitting in my room.

    The Apple IIgs was introduced in 1986, so yeah, pre-VGA but only just. I wish it could do 480p, that way I could just feed it to my ASUS monitor.
