| schestowitz_bed2 | VGA cables (or VGA-to-VGA standard connectors) are far more expensive than I realised, maybe 10% the cost of some brand new monitors. I need to buy at least 1, as one cable of mine gives a blurry image and another has poor attenuation for one colour (wire wear). It turns out that even just 1.8 meter cords are not as cheap as one might expect; Argos sells those for 7 pounds at the very least, Clas Olson for 9 pounds, and | Oct 09 04:47 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Maplin for 10 pounds (starting price, for the very basic type, no special brand). I still have an unused (new) DVI-to-DVI cable, but it's virtually of no use with my hardware. VGA is still the de facto standard on laptops and new monitors, projectors, etc. | Oct 09 04:47 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz_bed2: that's ridiculous | Oct 09 04:49 |

| schestowitz_bed2 | yeah | Oct 09 05:08 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | I think shops exploit the fact that people are *willing* to pay this much | Oct 09 05:08 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Not that the supplier charges as much | Oct 09 05:08 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | They can't be so expensive to manufacture, it's a mass production item for decades now | Oct 09 05:09 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | and it hardly evolved, no patents would be valid on it | Oct 09 05:09 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | Recently did some painting of the walls here, making it all look nice and shiny. I've added acetone to the to-buy list, it's needed alongside turpentine. I'm having second thoughts about buying sandpaper because I just experimented on a couple of walls with wet paper towel to blur the different/gap between new coat of paint and the original colour of the wall. | Oct 09 05:19 |
| schestowitz_bed2 | It really helps smoothen the texture and quickly restores the wall's colour such that it looks new, hopefully as good as "mint condition". | Oct 09 05:19 |
