Does not matter, hydrogen is not really the future

Nope, requires using a command prompt and executing the OOBE\bypassnro.bat batch file that does the neccessary registry changes and restarts.

This works because there is a bypassnro.bat file in the oobe directory, which modifies the relevant registry entries. If it gets removed, you'll need to find its contents online and type them into the command prompt manually.

Or use this as an opportunity to learn Linux. It's been very usable for a while. If you're confused by distro selection, try Mint Cinnamon first.

I only know like 3 of them but YMCA? Seriously? Yes, it technically has "Christian" in the title but how did nobody in the staff know?

TL;DR: Set your account to "private"

No alternatives to ex-Twitter are mentioned. Lame.

I'd guess too. In central and eastern Europe, 7 to 3 is the norm but nobody pronounces it that.

Yeah, that kind of special treatment, absolutely. But once in a concentration camp, they'd be just another subject with a number, albeit likely a lower one.

Well, you have a lot more experience than I do. I don't think I can provide good advice but the idea of another circuit borking it is interesting, I'd put voltmeter(s) on the supply voltage(s) of the deflection circuit and check for changes.

Please don't call the unit "CRT", it's weird to read phrases like "when the CRT is apart" because you can't really make a tube work again if it's been apart.

However, it makes me think if one could smash all tubes in a vacuum tube TV in the vacuum of space or one big glass chamber and have it still working. Or build a monitor into a tube that looks like an overly long CRT but just needs power and video. Maybe even include an IR remote receiver for digital picture adjustment. This is way beyond what I will ever be able to do, though, and there is little reason to make this gimmicky thing that is worse than Philips Predicta in almost every way.

Also, I think there is a bit of a mistranslation: the Catholic Church most likely does not consider material poverty a sin, they meant "being poor in spirit", or lacking any good values.

I assume datasheet websites just have pages for every combination of 3-12 alphanumerics to appear in search results, and then use shitty fuzzy string matching tactics to find "most relevant" items. It would help if they managed to extract package marking codes from datasheets so you can find SOT-23 parts by their 2-3 character codes, or whatever obscure system used by individual IC manufacturers. I think they have resources to make the experience way better but they prefer to turn high profits. Personally, I would not mind trying AI (not neccessarily a LLM) for the data extraction but I'd be cautious and only release it if it is decently reliable (but I know they wouldn't bother with that).

Pretty sad that a technical manual for the monitor was most likely created but just not digitized in a way you can find. Intermittent faults are very hard to diagnose. What I would try:

• I assume you've cleaned the potentiometer, which is also easy to check with an ohmmeter (mind the polarity or desolder it to protect the rest of the circuit).
• Poke the circuit board with a non-conductive object to find loose solder joints or components with bad contacts inside. If the fault is not mechanical, it might be an overheating component.
• Try adding a fan temporarily to see if the fault appears later, or use a thermal camera to find semiconductors that might go near their threshold temperature (150 °C for the silicon die).
• Find points in the horizontal deflection circuit where voltage or waveform changes as the fault manifests.
