Europe’s regulations are strict and robust. However, the German Greens convinced lots of people that they aren’t enough.

G can be mapped after boot (usually to removable drives)

Various flowers, such as tulips, definitely hate moths.

I imagine if I were near Antares and looked the other way, it would very much look like night.

I like the corona though.

People have indeed thought this before telescopes. You’ll most likely see diffraction patterns around bright lights because of eyelashes and other imperfections, probably different for each eye but the same for all lights (technically, wavelength also matters but not really on this scale).

It’s always day if you’re a star. Or night?

Not really a bad question. The diffraction spikes have been corrected for.

Two islands, divide them by sex. If you don’t, they will eventually overpopulate and start colonizing places like they’ve been in the last 1000 years.

Well, you have a lot more experience than I do. I don’t think I can provide good advice but the idea of another circuit borking it is interesting, I’d put voltmeter(s) on the supply voltage(s) of the deflection circuit and check for changes.

Please don’t call the unit “CRT”, it’s weird to read phrases like “when the CRT is apart” because you can’t really make a tube work again if it’s been apart.

However, it makes me think if one could smash all tubes in a vacuum tube TV in the vacuum of space or one big glass chamber and have it still working. Or build a monitor into a tube that looks like an overly long CRT but just needs power and video. Maybe even include an IR remote receiver for digital picture adjustment. This is way beyond what I will ever be able to do, though, and there is little reason to make this gimmicky thing that is worse than Philco Predicta (TV model line with CRTs outside cabinets) in almost every way.

I assume datasheet websites just have pages for every combination of 3-12 alphanumerics to appear in search results, and then use shitty fuzzy string matching tactics to find “most relevant” items. It would help if they managed to extract package marking codes from datasheets so you can find SOT-23 parts by their 2-3 character codes, or whatever obscure system used by individual IC manufacturers. I think they have resources to make the experience way better but they prefer to turn high profits. Personally, I would not mind trying AI (not neccessarily a LLM) for the data extraction but I’d be cautious and only release it if it is decently reliable (but I know they wouldn’t bother with that).

Pretty sad that a technical manual for the monitor was most likely created but just not digitized in a way you can find. Intermittent faults are very hard to diagnose. What I would try:

• I assume you’ve cleaned the potentiometer, which is also easy to check with an ohmmeter (mind the polarity or desolder it to protect the rest of the circuit).
• Poke the circuit board with a non-conductive object to find loose solder joints or components with bad contacts inside. If the fault is not mechanical, it might be an overheating component.
• Try adding a fan temporarily to see if the fault appears later, or use a thermal camera to find semiconductors that might go near their threshold temperature (150 °C for the silicon die).
• Find points in the horizontal deflection circuit where voltage or waveform changes as the fault manifests.

Datasheet websites do that a lot. If it’s PDF.js, Firefox’s PDF viewer (or a fork of it), I just right-click to “Show only this frame” and it goes fullscreen. It might have shenanigans such as disabled printing but you can press Ctrl+Shift+E and reload to check network activity for what address the PDF is loaded from and save that.

The worse ones are PDFs that exist only for SEO and contain nothing but keywords and a link to a paywall.

No, not that one.

Neither does Czech.

Yeah, it is impossible because cycloheptane has 14×H and every double bond causes 2 fewer hydrogen atoms so there cannot be 7
