Yeah I was talking to a friend just yesterday about how a TV isn't really a big purchase anymore, but the houses/rents are crazy expensive. It's kinda fucked.

Anyway my tv was $0 (from brother), about a meter across, and has a permanent green bar on the right side that only guests notice. I'm oddly proud of my shitty TV, which probably isn't healthy, but by plan is to ride this thing until it's unusable lol

Hit me up if it ever loses power. There’s a few capacitors worth about .50 cents total that will blow up on the power board. I can send you a link for those and explain how to go about identifying bad ones and replacing them. I think there might be some you tube videos out about that now.

.50 cents

Verizon math? Or do you actually mean half a penny?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

a capacitor probably is about half a penny tbh just probably wouldn't be able to buy 1 at that rate

Some are even less than half a penny. But yeah. I screwed up the math. Thank you!

Thanks, McFap, I'll try to remember that.
