@sound-and-vision.bsky.social@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialI have headache looking at it Like most AI slop
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialSo I updated everything and now it's magically working again.... Somehow.
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialI rebooted it so it's definitely updated something or rather
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialWhen you go to deconvolve some recoveries and it turns out pycuda has just left the building 😩
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialNot dead. Just had holiday and other life things. Teletext recovery work continues but I've had a bad run of Broken tapes, DVD to VHS bootlegs, home videos and piss poor quality C5 recordings.... Yet, we march forward
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialOooo Awww man...
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialI'd almost be certain these are out there in circulation, likely to the unaware buyer.. who may (not to be a snob) know that they're inferior quality pressings
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialI definitely feel like I've encountered these fakes on Spitalfields Mkt - below market price LPs of stuff (e.g. Frank Ocean) that I know to not be available on LP. Although there were similar LPs/CDs on my visit to Austria in retailers... It's a murky ol' world out there
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialDon't talk to me... I just realised that I've wasted an hour of having to listen to The Bill when the teletext capture wasn't even running

@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialTelevox was an early "interactive" Teletext service on Oracle and I've just spent my evening researching it and writing all about it on my website with a gallery from a pretty clean recovery from 1991 :)
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialYou may or may not know that I also digitise a lot of the Teletext recovery tapes, and have been collecting the adverts for longer than I've been doing recoveries.
All adverts are on Internet Archive away from the pesky hands of YouTube, we're at 2,610 items currently

@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialI'd love to recover something like this one day, the closest I've reached so far is 1996 Disneytext thanks to a tape from @spikeatkinson.bsky.social which included a lot of, well, Disney stuff :P
@sound-and-vision.bsky.socialNot to have an "achtually" moment but signal strength is often recorded in decibels 😋
