i got my late aunt's old vcr i liked so much as a kid https://computerfairi.es/media/XreXMmV-yt5T3Ti3F7s
god jesus fuck i managed to pull it out and it took considerable force https://computerfairi.es/media/UKcC8YdVHVkJvcOXv54
@squirrel omg that's a great-looking vcr
@squirrel it's in great condition too, blimey
@squirrel beefy looking
@squirrel ooooooooooh extremely good calculator i think my mom still has (and uses) hers
@bea my aunt also had a led digit one that glowed green but we couldn't find that one yet i think
@squirrel oh shiiit i think that vcr actually may actually be from around the same time as my parent's first 20" Toshiba FST Blackstripe TV
the remote designs are remarkably similar
@squirrel we had it til about 1999, surprisingly
still a big fan of the design https://icosahedron.website/media/pCxeMXtTvJQ_tSv2210
@colon_three holy shit this is extremely similar to the tv that accompanied this i think
@colon_three sadly it went up in a ball of smoke over a decade ago
@squirrel yeah i don't think ours lasted past the year 2000
@squirrel It's entirely possible there might be corroded batteries that sealed the thing, you might have to pry the thing open sadly :(
@TonicBH naw it's empty and i hear the springs, it's purely plastic locking against the plastic
@squirrel DONT MAKE EM LIKE THEY USED TO HRRRRRRRRRRRNGNNNHHHNNN!!!!!!!!
@bea i read this in the voice of the regular car reviews guy
@squirrel nailed it
oh yeah it has a remote
you know, what passed for a remote back then with the bare minimum
and i got this calculator too
