    TOS in 4k is best enjoyed on a 24" CRT that is 7 feet away with broadcast noise

      And DS9 is best enjoyed…on a flip phone? lol

      Truly a case of “not because I should but because I could” haha.

        Sigh, fine. I’ll bite.

        How did you take this picture?

            I was trying to bait you into an increasingly complex series of images where it is always implied that you captured the images with a phone, yet the phone is always pictured. Us, the idiot audience are to assume the absence of standalone cameras.

              Lol, well, next time I’ll be sure to take the bait, go to my drawer of abandoned gadgets, and take increasingly meta photos until I end with this:

                I appreciate that. Also CAT makes phones?! You sent me down a rabbit hole and now I want and kind of need a phone with a built in Flir camera.

                  They did, not sure if they still do (which sucks because these things are tanks). Their website has a Let’s Encrypt cert that expired in April lol.

                  Amazon has the Cat S62 Pro available unlocked if you can deal with an outdated version of Android (10). May be lucky and a newer 3rd party ROM exists.

                  The 160×120 pixel FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor it uses is $164 by itself, so $349 for that phone might actually be a decent deal (admittedly, I don’t have a mental price range for what a FLIR camera costs).

                    My one issue with buying anything at all from them is that I’ve made tens of thousands of parts for that company and have their tolerances for all sizes memorized… and yikes
