My favorite parts of HfjONE are Airy using his cassette player and using desktop computer with CRT monitor, which is a good thing since those two objects are a part of our childhood.

what are crts. im sorry if this is a stupid question

a CRT is what all the cool kids used before we had flatscreens d:

these beautiful chonky bastards <3

CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube

basically an electron gun fires electron beams at a phosphorescent surface to light it up. unlike a modern LCD or LED display, they have no fixed resolution as the amount of dots (not pixels) possible depends on the capability of the electron gun.

this also means you could lower resolution to increase refresh rate (as it draws dot-by-dot lower res is faster to draw so more complete frames can be drawn per second) without the image looking awful. perfect for FPS games !!!

they're very inefficient (and dangerous to open up due to high voltages and large capacitors) but very cool pieces of technology. oh and they weigh A TON.

Some science museums have displays set up where you can do this.

magnets vs tvs

old tubed televisions like these work through electrons, wherein numerous electrons are stored inside a tube and multiple electron magnets manipulate them in order to create an image. these electrons can also be manipulated by powerful outside magnets, creating these effects.
