This is fascinating, the Computer Devices' DOT, the a portable that was the first computer to ship with Sony 3.5-inch disk drives and it had a *widescreen* CRT display (which supported 132x25 textmode!).
And the video ... has some surprises...
Well worth a watch.
Hey fedi friends! If you happen to follow my Steam Curator group "Does it 4:3?", you may be interested to learn that we recently created a submission form for guest reviews.
We're looking for contributions from people who enjoy playing certain modern PC games on old CRT and LCD displays—yes, we exist! If you'd like to participate, just carefully read the instructions throughout the submission form. Thanks!
Revenge from Mars (Bally, 1999) attraction mode was just so damn mesmerising when I first saw the game back in '99. The image kind of floats over the playfield, but you can still see through it.
Technically the game has a special (and very expensive) semi-mirrored glass and a CRT hanging above the playfield, with a similar trick Asteroid Deluxe had the pretty background image added.
The game integrates the CRT pretty well, there's virtual targets the game projects over existing playfield parts and uses them to register hits. This way you can see a martian on the playfield and hit them with the ball, even when in real life the ball hit the standup target behind the projection.
But as Marge Simpson would say, I just think it's neat.

#DYK Did you know one of the first Online Dispute Resolution #ODR system incorporated into a public justice system is the Civil Resolution Tribunal #CRT in #BritishColumbia, #Canada? It was implemented in 2015, and its jurisdiction has been enlarged in small increments. It now adjudicates for 6 statutes, and lists others on its website.

Tens of thousands of UK boats are in good shape, but occasionally, people do abandon a boat.
Last fiscal year (2023/2024), Canal & River Trust removed 106 boats, mostly white fibreglass ones—built 40 to 50 years ago—which cost it £6,000 to £10,000 each to do.
The 36,000 steel narrowboats are seldom the problem: steel recycles. It's the white "yoghurt pot" boats: no facilities to dispose of fibreglass.
#CRT Staff and volunteers got us through Grant's Lock this morning. Stopped at #Cropredy now as we're both tired. #BoatsThatToot #Boating #OxfordCanal #Seren
Blissworth tunnel is long, but at least I can see the pinpoint of light at the end of the tunnel right from the start—as soon as my eyes adapt to the dark. (Amazing engineering, when you think about how straight that tunnel is.)
Tomorrow it's a visit to Canal & River Trust's canal museum, then right back through the tunnel.
I have a work call in the afternoon and the mobile signal is better on the north side of the tunnel.
Instead of "it's raining cats and dogs!" Brits say "It's pissing down!"
It turns out they also say that when a drained lock chamber is leaking onto their boat.
I shared a lock with a crane-boat operator, today, and his stern is getting SOAKED.
Last summer we got trapped on the Lancaster Canal when it breached. Last month that was fixed.
Two boats with us there boated from Lancaster onto the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, up to Manchester on the part of Bridgewater Canal that didn't breach. They couldn't go south on the Macclesfield Canal because it breached this spring. So they got ship-certified to go down the Manchester Ship Canal to Ellesmere, to the Shropshire Union Canal.
Bradley Workshop is where Canal & River Trust uses oak, steel, and plastic to make its "smaller" lock gates weighing up to 1½ tonnes (1⅔ tons). Lock gates hold back the water, so that canals can step up a hill using water-filled chambers.
Within each lock gate is a plastic paddle (photo)—a vertical, underwater door that boaters wind up to partly drain or fill a lock chamber with a boat in it.

Happy International Amiga Day!
(It's father of the Amiga, Jay Miner's birthday, which some observe as such.)
