AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the comparison between Sony DRC Wega and Panasonic Tau CRT TVs, with a focus on visual pleasure and picture quality. High-quality HDTV CRTs, like the WEGA, are noted for superior picture quality. However, preferences vary, with some valuing aesthetics when the TV is off, while others prioritize brand prestige, such as owning a plasma screen. Key differences between plasma and LCD technologies are highlighted: plasma TVs are generally cheaper, offer better viewing angles, and are brighter, while LCDs have a longer lifespan and do not suffer from screen burn-in issues.

There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
