Got this one for a couple of bucks.
It is in a very non-working condition, basically nothing electrical is working.
The only thing left is a Cathode-ray tube and some speakers - the rest was thrown out long time ago.

So, I need some tips from #fediverse

What display-panel should I put in this one?

I am thinking, of reusing a raspberry pi and make it some sort of "media station" if possible. But first do I need to make the display functional.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to do the "the police are not your friends" talk this early to my kids.

Does Sweden have a right to silence? When can my kids simply walk away from a police officer who wants to ask them questions?

I chose to move to Sweden in part because I enjoyed not being watched police surveillance cameras (big minus for the UK).

Now they are setting up recording cameras on the main square. I don't know what they record, or my rights to object or delete data.

"Den svenske reportern Joakim Medin var på plats för att skildra det stora politiska skeendet. Att Erdogans hårdföra regim inte uppskattar det är tydligt.

Den svenska regeringen måste sätta stark press på Turkiet så att den svenske journalisten kan åka hem."

Frankrike röstar nej till att kräva bakdörrar i totalsträckskrypterade appar

"They listened—not only to French digital rights organizations and technologists, but also to basic principles of cybersecurity and civil liberties. They understood that encryption protects everyone, not just activists and dissidents, but also journalists, medical professionals, abuse survivors, and ordinary citizens trying to live private lives in an increasingly surveilled world."

In a very near future

Has everyone in the US realised that because of Republican voters, their country has just lost all the international stature and credibility it has amassed since their ancestors entered World War I? It doesn't matter who wins the next presidential election. The one after that may still deliver another insane Republican populist who is fun to watch on TV. We simply can't trust that country's citizens any more.
