This final lockdown giveaway is for a RetroTINK 2x Pro, donated by Mike Chi. It's an awesome device that converts 240p and 480i from composite, S-Video and Component video to 480p HDMI. It's a zero-lag device and also features a smoothing filter that's great for low-res 3D graphics and some awesome scanline options, including the new 480i-style scanlines that I really liked.
Post "giveaway" in the comments to be entered!

This video tests the maximum advertised 40GBps bandwidth of Thunderbolt and finds real-world results of more like 30GBps. While this will NOT matter in most cases, if true, this will prevent reviewers & video analysts from recording lossless 4K60 4:4:4 via Thunderbolt. And it could also mean limitations for people using modern video cards externally. If you’re a fellow nerd, join me to see if I’m onto something. And if not, that’s fine too.
