I am sending you this message from Lynx via SSH into my server. It is running Fedora Linux 43 (Server edition) and has 12 cores, 128 threads (yes, 128) spread across 2 POWER ISA CPUs, 128gb of RAM, and enough PCI to make any mini-ITX user cry
Probably the first time LG has been accessed from a once $20,000 machine that is a little over 10 years old, but still performs well.

More importantly, what is the weirdest way you have accessed (or even posted to) LG?
I have already seen people use LG on smart fridges and car infotainment systems, but does anyone else have anything more interesting?

It seems to me that over the past several months, mercury vapor lamps that were once common throughout the USA are suddenly becoming rare and virtually unobtainium virtually overnight within the past few months especially since I have seen that the US eBay has been rapidly taking down mercury vapor lamp listings overnight.

I wonder what might be the best way to obtain hard to find North American market mercury vapor lamps going forward via websites other than eBay or facebook marketplace.

Looks like mercury vapor lamps have become RARE in the USA virtually OVERNIGHT.

Nope, but I am really looking forward to buying the upcoming Madonna album on a CD, as I absolutely love Madge! 

That's quite nice 😎 I haven't been burning Photos on CDs pretty much, though I use CDs for Music and stuff like that.

I also forgot to include that I use CDs for Music

I still have bunch of CD-R at home.  Once a great while, I would burn pictures into the CD-R for archival purpose.  the last time I used it in 2020

I mean, it's not a really topic on Vinyls, but I suppose so if you're not in CDs.

I never really held a VINYL in real life, but I can Imagen how big they are compared to a CD.

I also recommend being careful with Vinyl, to not scratch it much and hold it with your fingers lightly. As of, I'm not going to explain more, I've never interacted with a vinyl, only CD, Pendrive and Cassette.

Does a Vinyl count? I got a twenty one pilots Breach album vinyl in special Red edition!

Today I bought a good few new, unused CDs from Kaufland, and for a price €6.99, I think it was a little bit expensive for 25 discs (well at least better price than the other shop for €10.99 for 25 discs).

I was born around the era where USBs were starting to get popular and CDs were starting to not be used by much people who don't care whatever they use, whenever it's Vinyls, Cassettes, etc. I pretty much used CDs in our old Volvo 2009 car until 2024, where the car was sold and no need was burn CDs anymore, as the new car was for USB / Bluetooth.

Only now I burnt a few CDs and used them in a cheap unknown  CD and USB player. The CD kept skipping a few milliseconds every good 10 seconds. I thought it was the issue with the CDs, but later when in the BMW I used a CD, there was no issue with the "skipping". I guess a cheap laser was fitted in the player, unlike they use a good laser that actually does the job properly, like almost every CD player that has a known manufacture.


So does anyone else use CDs, and if not, what guy are you, Cassette, Vinyl, Pendrive??

Yes! Someone knows about the factory in Emmen! The office in Capelle aan den IJssel is still closed to this day, and the factory at Emmen was transfered to Sustainder B.V which is another street lighting company, and the showcasing area is still full of Industria fixtures.

As for the Factory in Spain, i've seen production go very well there, they make specific fixtures in different countries, for example the current Iridiums aren't produced in Spain, but in Poland, Spain produces all of signify's flood lights and tunnel lights, the UrbanFlex, Citymood, Luma², Sunstay and Sunstay Pro, TownTune, Milewide gen2, Classic Street, Villa gen2, Citycharm Fluid, and Citysoul gen2.

For all those fixtures there is a specific assembly line.

But i've never seen any production of electronic ballasts in Spain other than Poland.
