In the extended cut of T2, John and Sarah remove the t800s CPU chip and flip a switch to enable its higher learning ability and unlock its full AI capability.

If Uncle Bob was not destroyed at the end of T2, do you think this enhanced AI learning ability would have had a runaway effect and caused him to become unpredictable and choose to ignore its programming when it became fully self-aware?

I like to think that he would have become more human and developed empathy after having such a profoundly human experience with John and Sarah.

I've had this TV for a few months now and it started doing this recently. After it's been running for about a half hour to an hour when a really bright image comes on screen it makes this high-pitched noise. Seems to go away after a while but I'm wondering if this is something to be concerned about.

Got a chance the other night to go river rafting using my night vision and it was awesome. Night vision works particularly well when boating because you can see as far as you can see during the day. You don't have to rely on how far your lights can go because Nvgs don't use a flashlight to see, if they just make things look more or less like they do during the day Just in black and white or green and white.

In my younger days I was a whitewater raft guide but I haven't worked as one since I got my night vision. I finally had an opportunity to go rafting at night and it was awesome. The weird part is you can't see into the water at all, so it's like rafting on ink.

Looking for a reputable source to get a hard drive conversion kit for my fat PS2. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I recently purchased two CRTs a few months ago and I noticed there is an incredible amount of people that are totally baffled at why they cost more than $20-50.

The answer is pretty simple but seems to be really hard to stomach for the community.

1. We're just starting to reach the point where there are no more surplus CRTs that are just in the way. For the last 20 years CRTs have just been obsolete. Super heavy nuisances that people wanted to get out of their house. We are in the Twilight of that time now.

2. Most of the CRTs for sale now are owned by somebody that actually wanted it after it was obsolete as a collector's item.

3. The only people buying CRTs are people that want them as collectors items, nobody's buying a CRT so they can check the weather in the morning before they go to work instead of buying a flat screen.

See the numbers.

4. Everyday the supply gets a little bit lower and the demand gets a little bit higher as millennials and gen xers get nostalgic for their childhood and young adult days.

5. There's a good chance that they'll never be made again because of the large industrial nature of manufacturing them.

6. Modern TVs don't come with analog inputs anymore, so if you want to play retro game systems or hook up a VCR or LaserDisc player, you have to go source a used TV anyway. So a lot of people figure they may as well go all the way and get a CRT while they put in all the effort to find used TV with analog inputs.

Tldr: I think the prices you see on the internet for CRTs are completely reasonable and they're never going down and are only going to go up and everybody here needs to wake up to the reality of that.

I built this TV cabinet for my 2002 24" Toshiba from scratch out of 2x4s I sliced in half on my table saw. I recessed the back wall about 2 in from the sides to hide the massive amount of wiring. I got all the switcher boxes from Amazon and I finally got everything wired up. There's five devices with three different input types wired into two inputs in the TV (component video, composite video and s video). The rear component and composite inputs share the same audio input so I had to do some clever wiring with the switcher boxes to be able to use the VCR and the PlayStations through the same audio inputs. The PlayStations are using component, the Nintendo's are using s video and the VCRs using composite.

Got the pegboard put up and the custom shelves put up today. I just started collecting vhs's so these are the only ones I had laying around that one with the MP5.

I decided to build some custom shelves that fit in the free space behind the door of my hobby room. The plan is to add more shelves all the way to the ceiling and then to ring the room with three three room length shelves.
