One thing I noticed:

People are starting to forget what old computer screens looked like. It could be because there's a shortage of actual, functional CRT monitors. But these days when an old computer is called for you are likely to see perfectly smooth, green text in Consolas or similar composited onto a prop screen, rather than actual glowing pixels. It's jarring and saddening, and it's happened in two films that I've seen so far: John Wick Chapter 2 (wherein VIC-20s stood in for the old computer keyboards) and Kong: Skull Island.

There may be several practical reasons for doing that though. CRT screens create weird effects on camera, and maintaining a bunch of functional ageing hardware is going to get a lot harder as time goes on for complex electronics that have been superseded by modern technology.

This is awesome! I looked in my package manager and saw there's also an open-source cathode terminal emulator that also supports Linux: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
