I buy things online about a half dozen times a year.
One is by necessity Amazon sadly. They have a product I haven't found elsewhere so I normally do one purchase at the start of the school year.
The point of this though is to examine our lives and our systems and look at how much we can or can't divorce from the tech bros. How much power do they really have over us. Sadly, I think it's more than a lot of us realize.
@chu absolutely agree - partially because we have few good choices left after the decimation caused by covid and partially because they're insidious.

@johnhenrythe3rd @chu do you supply the difference in price?
@LeoBistmans @chu It was a few pounds more expensive to buy it locally. But in my opinion that's a price worth paying to keep local shops alive.

Is there some sort of "adapter" for older models?( I don't have a tv, I'm just letting my mind roam into curious places)

Edwin mentioned in order to pull in the signal, the tv had to be 18 or younger, but now that I think about it, I guess even if there was an "adapter" of sorts the tv wouldn't work.

@SnowyCA @deborahh @chu The answer is yes, they do exist.
They are called “ATSC Converter boxes” or digital-to-analog converter boxes.
Almost every channel I know of ran an advert when did the analog (NTSC) to digital (ATSC) conversion in 2011, and mentioned them
Here’s a sample of those adverts for your viewing enjoyment:

I love the geeky conversation my random "on the way to campus" thoughts sparked.

Thanks, Richard, I'll tuck that info into a "brain wrinkle" in case I need it later.
