I'm just speechless.

This is incredibly fascinating. The one thing I don't get is how the Cartrivision was used to record off of TV. Was it a built-in feature? Did they sell blanks? Or maybe it was some kind of hack?

EDIT: According to Wikipedia they did have a built-in record feature and the Wiki page even shows an image of a blank tape.

And I can't watch it on my Oculus Quest, because Zuck is watching over my shoulders ...

You can just record over used magnetic tape, no? You don't necessarily need blanks.

I bet that the kvetching doesn't happen now that it's a single Tumblr post rather than a tweet thread.

And if it does, the complaints can be flagged instead of the post.
