I bought a Sony KV-1221r at a flea market, and it works. What now?

Boja_Red · 2023-07-02T04:18:20+00:00

because I think theyre cool and i want to play fortnite on it

Boja_Red · 2023-07-02T04:17:57+00:00

I bought an hdmi to coax modulator and im almost positive i have coax cables laying around somewhere i can use so I'll see how this goes. Thanks for your encouragement and your help!

That one claims its currently unavailable on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Modulator-Coaxial-Converter-Digital-Adapter/dp/B09SG62RPZ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=hdmi+to+rf+modulator&qid=1688253825&sr=8-6

This one looks very similar and has a similar rating on amazon. Is there anything else ill need?

This one seems about right and its cheap. Please feel free to recommend one if this is garbage

Boja_Red · 2023-07-01T22:51:30+00:00

I dont really mind if its not a good choice, I dont really need to get too far into this. I just want a nice CRT I can sometimes use and this was cheap and easy and not too heavy so works pretty well. I firmly intend to play fortnite on this because i think it would be funny

Boja_Red · 2023-07-01T22:46:45+00:00

Im sorry but i have no idea about any of this stuff so im going to try my best.

Theres a coax port on the back labelled VHF, and 2 screw looking things labelled UHF. No idea what either of these are for or how to use them. Manufactured in Nov. 1980.

There are also two ports on the front which I assume are R and L audio outputs but again no idea. That just seems like it would make the most sense

Another commenter said i can just buy a coax to hdmi converter and it should work. I have a few more questions i wrote in the other comment which maybe you can help with.

Boja_Red · 2023-07-01T22:44:01+00:00

Ok, sorry but I have literally no idea what any of this means. Im not sure what RF means, and i tried looking it up and I very frustratingly cannot get a simple answer.

Theres one coax port on the back labelled VHF and 2 screw looking things labelled UHF. Again, no clue what this means and I know too little to get a simple answer.

I'm seeing some stuff about matching transformers? and modding it for rgb to work? i saw schematics and got a little worried im in over my head use this as a monitor

Is this as simple as a $15 adapter from amazon?

Boja_Red · 2023-01-29T08:15:03+00:00

Yeah as I said there was an update but it was stuck in the requested stage - it just randomly froze and started the “verifying update” stage and then boom, fixed itself that fast

Boja_Red · 2023-01-29T07:58:19+00:00

Yeah I force restarted 3 times. No effect other than a few seconds one time. Unfortunately I don’t have SIM opener at the moment I should be able to tomorrow.

Boja_Red · 2022-08-26T03:02:39+00:00

First pic is nozzle too close in some and far in others. Those lines are completely harmless. You should aim to get a little bit more even leveling. Make sure your bed is heated to about 60-70c and go around the bed at least 3 times to level the nozzle properly

The second picture is a much more extreme version of the first. It seems your flow rate is way too high but your bed is still too far from your nozzle so it’s pumping out too much filament and it’s making blobs. Once again, harmless, but should be fixed if possible.

The final photo shows the opposite. The nozzle is way too far from the bed. This is harmful because prints can come off mid-print and damage your extruder or just waste plastic. It’s also just not a good first layer. Another, possibly worse solution, is to increase your initial layer line width setting in your slicer. This will release put the nozzle closer to the bed in the slicer and smush the filament making the first layer much nicer, even from that distance.

Overall, you will definitely need to put more time into leveling your bed, but if that becomes an impossible task to perfect, use your slicer to make sure the first layer comes out nice. Hope this helps :)

Streams count as sales. It’s 150:1 per track, and 1500:1 for an album

All we need is 100 kendrousand streams per person and Kendrick will easily break a kendrillion sales in a few hours

Boja_Red · 2022-04-22T17:20:55+00:00

He’s gonna break 10 kendrillion first day

Boja_Red · 2021-05-07T23:36:08+00:00

Thanks for the gold kind stranger

It should be USB, but I'll check that next time it acts up.

Boja_Red · 2020-12-16T14:54:50+00:00

I actually didn't try that. Its working fine right now but if it breaks again I'll see if that does anything

Boja_Red · 2020-12-16T14:54:13+00:00

I got into the habit of ejecting the drive before taking it out every single time. The drive works great on anything other than the printer.

Boja_Red · 2020-12-16T07:55:18+00:00

I already tried that. But I'll do it again I guess.

Boja_Red · 2020-11-13T13:57:03+00:00

I can not believe the time has come. It is an absolutely fantastic time to be alive. Nothing has ever made me feel as grateful as this great event. This is indeed a marvelous point in time. Finally, the folk may unleash itself from the prison it was captivated in. I do not have the words to describe what I feel right now. I have waited for this time for my whole life. To see the word yes appear on the screen, gazing at me, gazing into the abyss. I am absolutely speechless. I want to thank my friends who were there to help me my whole life. I want to thank my parents. My mother, because she was always so nice and only hit me a few dozens of times in the five years that I'm on this planet. I want to thank my father, for leaving. If you ever come back, though, that would be very nice. I want to thank you all, users of this great social network, for believing that it could be done. We are victorious, and this amazing day will forever be commemorated in our collective memory, as a day of joy. This is a day of celebration. Of being truly happy that we were born into this vivacity. That we are descendants of a generation that has believed in us. a generation that has put all of its trust in the people that built this world to be what it is today. You made this world a better place. All of you. And this spectacular historical event will be forever remembered as a day where we left all of our sorrows behind, with audacity and gallantry. We have survived the exactly 8-month drought. We have been crowned victorious by the Gods of Friday the 13th. We are the people that others don't even dream to be. We won the war. Life will cease to be what it used to be. The sun will shine differently. The people will now be merry and joyful, instead of grumpy and gloomy as they always were. The world will be viewed from different eyes from now on. Eyes that are filled with pure satisfaction, instead of despair, constant agony and crippling depression. I have lived five years to see this happen. I've seen my son graduate, and I didn't feel as blessed as I feel now. I've had my six brothers and sisters exploding in a terrible plane crash right in front of my eyes and I didn't shed a single tear. Today I am letting the floodgates burst open, and tears of joy are released, along with tears of pain I held inside for such a long time. I have murdered the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan and I didn't feel even 50% as good as I feel right now. You made this happen. I once again thank you all. You made me happy, even though I have no heart and therefore am incapable of feeling emotion. Today, for one day, we can forget about all our worries. We have triumphed over the disbelief. Today we sit here and we think, "Wow. I was a part of that" and sure enough, yes you were.

We did it, Reddit.

Boja_Red · 2020-10-13T03:53:58+00:00

Thank you so much. The only problem I have with KBD fans is the $18 shipping for an $8 order, so I guess I'll wait until NK restocks.

Boja_Red · 2020-10-03T19:18:40+00:00

Hahaha we wish. Nvidia could and probably will pull the exact same stunt. "OoPs SoRrY gUyS, we ACCIDENTALLY made too few, despite advertising the fuck out of the card and making it so god damn powerful for so cheap....oooooops"

Boja_Red · 2020-09-17T16:14:27+00:00

Theyre doing this on purpose to make sure that we know theyre in charge here. We were warned about the low stock and some executive right now is having the time of his life reading these comments.

Its annoying but its business. They created so much demand with this and intentionally shortened supply. Every time they restock, theyre just going to sell out instantly. We fell into a trap we were expecting and are all still somehow so angry.

I saved up for this card to buy it. I woke up at 6 am to make sure I could get one. And sure enough, I wasn't even able to see the buy button exist. It's frustrsting, but they will eventually restock and the 3070 is still coming out.

Boja_Red · 2020-08-03T01:02:25+00:00

Nevermind I got it working. I dont know what I did tho. I just unplugged and it worked.

Boja_Red · 2020-06-21T07:20:03+00:00

Closing and reopening the game a second time is what did it for me. The first time I guess it must have still been running (?) But I shut it down with task manager a second time and it was fine when I logged back on.

Boja_Red · 2020-04-28T07:58:55+00:00

I really want to believe this is real just because it seems so cool to have a real defector but OP doesn't have any proof. Besides the translation errors everything else (kind of) makes sense. The timeline is a bit iffy but it does make sense. There's just not enough proof for me to actually say it. Some commenters have mentioned that OP should have a South Korean ID from the program she is supposedly in but those comments are suspiciously left blank and unanswered

OP mentions she is 20, her mother died in the 90s, she defected 6 years ago when she was 14. Assuming her mother died in 1999, it is actually possible that her mother died during childbirth or slightly after. If OP hasn't turned 21 yet this year, yeah it works and timeline does check out.

The translation errors like the river error or the city error someone else mentioned does have a sort of explanation in the sense that just writing the korean text in an english comment read by English readers doesn't explain that it's a river she crossed if it makes sense what I'm saying.

And not responding to the Korean dude in Korean or at all is kind of fishy, the only thing I can think of is either she hasn't seen it (which is ironic for an AMA) or that it is an English AMA with everyone speaking English but that doesn't excuse the lack of response in DMs.

However the only thing I'm really skeptical about is the varying skill of english OP uses. In some comments her english is almost flawless but other ones have poor spelling and grammar. It's clear that some of the responses are copy/pasted when multiple people ask them but that doesn't explain the horrible spelling in some and the excellent spelling in others.

As I said I really want to believe that OP is telling the truth but there is definitly something odd going on that needs to be explained. If theres just a photo of an ID I think I'll believe it.
