Anyone can think of other examples? Note that we're not looking for simple misnomers like pencil lead, the things must have been made of the stuff they're named after at some point!

  • marbles
  • compressed air (no doubt somebody has used compressed air for what can dusters are used for nowadays, but selling it in cans has probably never been economically viable)

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't patented CRT shaders so they can sell them as a Switch 2 exclusive. (They are but luckily we know about the alternatives)

Are there at least official widescreen or dual-stick mods?

Mit glühendem Gesicht Petroleum sparen!

USB mice and keyboards usually have unshielded cables, which are allowed for USB 1.1, since they don't need higher speeds.

Abandon the register and use another. Doesn't work if the item is problematic (age-restricted or incorrect weight in system) but worth a shot if there's few people around.

Can you though?

The other comments are correct. Also, a solenoid that switches another set of contacts is called a relay, or contactor.

...and paper that says "Enjoy the rust, swasticar" on the windshield

Seen in Prague-Karlín, about 30 m away from that other mildly vandalized vehicle. Looking up the licence plate, the owner's full name seems to be Igor Norton Tesla Slovák and it's the first Cybertruck in the country, so he must have spent lots of money importing it and modding it (and bribing officials?) to pass registration.

Yes, Prague is inexplicably car-brained for how dense the public transport network is.

Phil Mason, aka Thunderf00t, is a US expat at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and most of his last 80 videos are about criticizing Musk. I wonder if he ever encounters a Cybertruck (there have been multiple for quite a while) and films it up close, it would help if he stopped reusing footage so much.

 

Prague 16, Radotín, is a former village at the southwestern edge of the city, mostly known for its commuter rail stop between Beroun and Praha-Smíchov.

This is a joke, the console is unrelated in all but name.

Picture of Hřib staning in front of the awfully dirty concrete spiralling staircase and ramp that forms the end of a foot bridge over the bus stops at the Černý Most transport hub.

 

The slideshow is just the VÍTÁME VÁS / NA SHLEDANOU welcome/goodbye message (based on whether the panel is entry-/exit-facing, a URL, and wayfinding info such as "🠜 PŘEPÁŽKY 36, 38-44 / 🠝 RECEPCE, PŘEPÁŽKY 12, 13, 15-20, 28-29" . They absolutely could have used a way less powerful machine for this, or better utilized the screen estate (wayfinding on the welcome/URL screen as well? English?).

Does anyone know the software they're using? I recreated the icon:

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.

Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).

 

The video is from last year. They've since made the animation reset early instead of letting the scrolling text reveal the wrong opening hours, it abruptly goes back to the tacky pulsing after "PO-P-".

TranscriptA pharmacy on Vodičkova street at the Václavské náměstí tram stop. Two tacky RGB dot matrix crosses with green and white animations including pulsing and Caduceus.

Smaller one protruding from the wall above the door: OPEN / 7:00-23:00
Larger one in the window: OPEN / PO-PÁ 7:00-20:00 / SO-NE 9:00-20:00

Edit: No change except conversion to web-friendly format (VP9 WebM instead of H.265 MKV).
