@NOTimothyLottes — Nanorc done and back to actual programming with the new font. The iPhone cannot

Nanorc done and back to actual programming with the new font. The iPhone cannot seem to correctly capture a CRT anymore … and yes my _ is … and my ; is a 5 dot vertical line (prefer that for C/GLSL coding)

Thankfully I can still dedecorate the term window to focus lines for useful content. Practically speaking I almost have a new language implemented in C via typedefs and macros … back to building and testing the native Linux system level interface

@NOTimothyLottes Why are you using CRT

@quiveron_x Still the best display technology IMO. Low persistence, analog, variable resolution, smooth continuous blended signal, deep blacks, great contrast, etc.

I completely agree, I asked because I was wondering if you were planning on doing something specific. I think we gave up on them too early, they felt good to use, pleasant to look at, only negative side is they were too heavy. People obsessing over resolution don't realize if image is shit it doesn't matter if it's 4k or 8k

@NOTimothyLottes you can use camac (free) to take raw photos on iphone without post-processing shit

@NOTimothyLottes Hz sharing? I wonder if CRTs can be changed like 60 -> 59 Hz, and if that would correct it? I do not know whether any is correct, but I'd betcha there's some kinda thing there about that. Why would the iphone has .. no it's not mechanical, so I have no clue but that is a puzzle

@NOTimothyLottes ohh what is that? a 2070SB?

@NOTimothyLottes yep. that's a rebranded 2070sb haha. there's an hsync/vsync (~152khz, 254hz) overclocking tutorial if you ever feel daring enough to. 😉

@mayemayey Those crazy refresh rates are long past diminishing returns though due to the fixed phosphor decay. Great display, only big flaw is the vertical nonlinearity at the extreme top and bottom.

@NOTimothyLottes do you have any blurriness in the corners?
Post 15 (2026-06-15 13:06:28) — reply to Post 14
@mayemayey It might if I ran it at peak resolutions but I mostly stick to higher refresh rates instead, so wouldn’t notice.
