When you look at the amount of people and corporations behind a spec like USB... and no one thought of this? I wonder if there are IP67 USB-C connectors?

does have a tendency to get a little dirty though

Dollar store keyboard cleaner air cans are good for this. There really should have been a little spring-loaded flap on the connector, like later SPDIF has.

When are you going to get the circumsized cock out of your asses, you religious dumbfucks? We're told what a bad bad bad country Russia is, in the meantime they're a lightweight in comparison to Israel in terms of unbridled savagery, and you not only are "aware" of it, you fund it and supply materiel.

That would mean the US would have to invade itself to restore democracy, much like when other countries wanted to nationalize their own fucking resources...

Good thing they're not part of the ICC!

He looks chromosomal.

 

I regularly find HDDVDs and the best part is they're always priced as a DVD. This one looks new. Maybe it was part of a starter bundle with someone's player years ago.

I don't even care about Star Wars due to my crippling cynicism, but for $4.50 who cares!

 

Hey for $4.50, I'm pretty happy, plus it comes with a Bluray. I hope my next thrift find is a UHD player...

 

I noticed the "coming soon" sign a while back and now it's open. It's definitely a sense of "déjà vu", it looks pretty much like a Value Village in its layout, prices are the same. Lots of clothes, pots and pans, a few shelves of electronics, and lots of DVDs and VHS. Plus it's a 5 minute walk from the St Jacques Renaissance.

I thought those were just standard embossed letters but they're actually stickers and look really good. This is why I like physical media. And 1980s cheese.

 

Couldn't believe it. Not a big fan or anything but I paid 10$ for both sets.

 

Another one of my lucky finds. It's in pretty good shape but needs new belts. It's a monster to take apart and I don't have any belts so it's a bookend for now. 20$ is reasonable, and it looks so cool.

 

Heathkit Model O-12 tube oscilloscope. Found this among old suitcases and kid's toys at a Friperie Renaissance/Goodwill in Montréal. It still works, it's clean, I didn't need to do anything and it powered up.

 

In the last few months I decided to see what I could find on DVD and Blu-ray. It's a matter of luck and persistence but I do find good stuff now and then. Anyone else find missing Blu-rays from combo Blu-ray and DVD sets? Or DVD-Rs instead of pressed? And how do some people manage to scratch their discs so impressively?
