i kind of wonder just how many people on here have never degaussed a screen

@Felthry i did it for the fun noise and wobbling, of course. i didn't know what it was actually for

@g @Felthry That's what got me doing it initially, then I read up on what it was for and subsequently made a habit of degaussing monitors when they showed signs of needing it.

@Felthry crts are so finicky were sometimes surprised they worked at all lol. Such a weird tech.

We miss em

@nautilee you want "surprised they worked at all", have you ever heard of a Williams tube?

that's a thing where you use a CRT as *RAM*
