In addition to what others have already posted, I suspect that this might be an attempt to evade spam/phishing filters that are looking for an IP address with a specific regular expression. Having a fake IP address that doesn’t match the traditional ^((25\[0-5]|(2\[0-4]|1\d|\[1-9]|)\d)\\.?\b){4}$ format might let this message slip through.

I would only buy Extron, Crestron or Kramer for that use case, but if you’re on a budget and need to compromise then also consider Cyp, Atlona, Lindy, Blustream or everyone’s favourite SY Electronics.

If you send a CRT an image larger than it can display, it will either display nothing, some garbage or as much of the image as it possibly can - normally cropping the top left corner.

I suppose it depends if your CRT is capable of displaying a 720p signal. If it’s not, then it won’t work.

Likewise if your converter requires the input format to match what the CRT expects (i.e. it doesn’t have scaling built in), then the converter may not work either.

You might want to purchase a scaler rather than connect your computer directly to the screens.

justification: those old screens are going to need a low resolution like 480i and modern games/apps are just not designed for that so they may not run at all, or you may find that some elements like menu items are cut out and don’t render properly.

HK G36-C no?

The drive is very good, comfortable and you have the power when you need it available, but it’s not scary.

I’m not much of racetrack person myself. I can tell you that two child seats fit in the back, and on long journeys the battery lasts 300 miles even though the car is four years old.

There have been some recalls for it, to replace parts that I don’t know what they’re for. I haven’t figured out how to “log in” to the car so it always says “welcome guest” but I’m fine with that.

We have an Audi e-tron GT. Wife wanted a 4-door car with a trunk and I wanted a low-slung sporty drive.

Not manual by any means, but it has Apple Car Play and buttons for almost everything else - aircon, media, driving controls etc.

We charge with excess solar so driving it is basically free.
