Cool clip of someone displaying some graphs on an old VFD display. ~30 seconds (youtu.be)

God I really need to get back into tinkering. This video (and the Posy VFD video, which is probably the reason YouTube recommended this to me) makes me long for the days when electronics were more unique. Everything had its own look, every display had to be intentionally designed around the hardware limitations of the time. Nowadays everything is a black slab. I do like my black slabs - but this stuff is so much cooler aesthetically.

If you found this video interesting, there’s also Fran Blanche who posts about obscure displays, as well as Posy, who is probably one of my favorite internet creators.

That's sick, the graphs look beautiful! I've wanted to do something like that with a VFD since I saw Posy's video. The fact that the person behind this video managed to get an X server working with it on top of the terminal blows my mind
