2024-06-19 08:08:04 +0000 UTCI don't know why others come to FranLab, but I just like hearing you talk... I don't mind what the subject matter is. Your channel has a unique charm that sets it apart from the overproduced, loud, flashy channels. I really wish you could get enough views making one video per week to alleviate the workload and allow you time to focus on your wellbeing.

2024-06-18 17:15:47 +0000 UTCAs I recall, Laser disks are digital. RCA made an analog video disk playback system, "Selectavision", which used a physical needle to read the disk. Those also wore down in the same way that vinyl records do.

2024-06-18 15:40:42 +0000 UTCDidn't know you had a jukebox. Do you have arcade machines ? Are laser discs digital or analog ? Can you 'rip' them ? Can you preserve plastic by keeping them in a humidity-controlled environment ? I'm thinking of nylon here specifically but maybe other plastics need something different I agree about printing gears, but I'd really like to be able to do that sort of thing. There are specialist machines that can work at that sort of resolution. Maybe a small, good quality consumer machine (voron ? bambu ?) could do it. Anybody got any experience of that resolution ?
