Nope this isn't a math question. Well it might turn into one.

I have a problem and it is a large one. I have a nice 2 year old Sony 32" Tube TV, the KV32FV310. I like the TV but I am moving. The TV weighs 172lbs, the dimensions are 35.38 in. (W) x 23 in. (D) x 26.88 in. (H).

Right now it is stored on the 2nd floor in a house. There lies the first problem, stairs. Then it will go to an apartment across town which is located on the 3rd (top) floor. There are is no elavator.

I do not have the original box, so unfortunately that is out of the question.

What should I do to move this beast, other then hire professional movers, to the new home. I am willing to buy supplies as long as it doesn't exceed $100. Also in my circle of friends were all either fat or too skinny to lift the TVs and obviously not smart enough to come up with an idea to move it.

(btw even the reviews mention its a heavy beast: http://www.dealtime.com/xPR-Sony_KV_32FV310)

What some of you may not relize is that 32" Tv's are fairly easy to move except a sony.

Sony is the heaviest & best CRT based TV the glass in the picture tube is 3 to 4 times thicker than on other crt tvs.

You may think I am BSing you or wonder where I got this info.My dad has worked on TV's for nearly 40 years and he says nothing beats sony for crt TV beacause they are built better & use a complety different picture tube & flyback than any other crt based tv ever made.

He has worked on the first sony's to be sold in america.

Had a problem with a massive tv before.

I got some of the grip stuff you can buy from hardware stores for the garage, for holding wood and stuff, lines the top of some finished pine floorboards (not varnished), stuck the sticky junk on the top, tv on top of that, and slowly with two people, slid it down the stairs.

The stairs had carpet, so I dunno if this will help you or not.

About getting it back up... if your friends are really that measly and whimpy, take it one step at a time. Up one, tv down with you or the stronger one, supporting the over hanging edge.

I think this makes sence.

Well oddly enough I carried a 35 incher Citizen Flat Screen. One problem though a huge massive hump for a back. I'd recommend put a towel on the screen lay it flat against your chest and slowly pick up. Bend at knees keep straight and have a few spotters if you can't pick it up.

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
