I think these are fruit flies, they are small as fuck so their larvae must be even smaller, I'm sure they are in pretty much every fruit you eat.

>>58750784
I keep tape on my desk for this reason, when they land on the screen just lay tape over them and don't crush them, peel the tape off and fold it over to seal them in and then just throw them out.

Every time I do this I have a moral crisis but it's much cleaner. (Should I just crush them instead of forcing them to suffocate, is it better to give them a few moments to accept death or should I kill them before they realize what's happening. They're just bugs, but what if I were that bug.)

>>58749041
As a kid, I destroyed one of those TV and took it apart. Nothing interesting since I didnt know anything about electronics, except I got to understand bits/parts of how a CRT works.

>>58751064
That seems like too much hassle for me. I now still crush the bugs on the screen but I immediately wipe them away with something wet. I find destilled water and paper towels works best for clear vision.

>>58751006
Do you actually own a CRT though? I honestly prefer to watch things on it whenever the aspect ratio isn't too offensive, I feel that the liveliness of colors make up for it.

You're not wrong.

The world ditched CRTs because they were cumbersome, heavy, took a lot of space and were powerhungry, not because LCD displays have better colors.

There was an attempt to prolong the life of CRT technology by making the display composed of multiple tiny tubes.

But I don't remember what it was called.

Shame really.

>>58751203
while i haven't read up on it, based on what i do know, i would assume it's coil whine from the deflection yoke (the electro-magnet that directs the electron beam)
while the picture is drawn vertically at 50-60hz, the horizontal scanning frequency is a little over 15KHz, which matches up to the frequency you're detecting (and hearing)

>>58751515

Note that the source FLAC file I uploaded was a reencoded lossy M4A file. The 16kHz cutoff is plain as day.

Vocaroo compression is ridiculous, cutting off between 8-9kHz.

Also a "living room sized" CRT TV was 24 to 36 inches while a 42 inch LCD is entry level and 55 to 70 inch ones are becoming quite common and inexpensive.

The standard resolution was smaller back then, so a 36 inch CRT was displaying an image half the vertical size of an entry level LCD.

>>58751990
That might be something though. If you cracked a hypothetical SED smartphone it could be potentially dangerous?

>>58751955
SED was scrapped because it was very expensive to produce, each pixel had an electron beam where CRTs had an electron beam which just scanned across the screen quickly.

No no anon, OLED IS the future! And you can have that future today if you'll just open your wallet for a few minutes...

oled has an infinite contrast, so that technology can get fucked

>>58752993
Have you ever owned a phone with OLED display? In a very dark room when showing a black image you can just barely tell the edges of the display, so it's not infinite.

>>58748657
A 27" CRT draws about 300watts during use. Although I never experienced a brown out. You must have had too many devices plugged in on a single breaker.

>>58753033
Then your OLED display is shit, or my eyesight is terrible, because when I use my Note 3 in a totally dark room the black pixels are indistinguishable from the edges.

>>58753033
