Two aliens from a super advanced civilization.
I’m imagining Superman’s Krptonian family all arriving via their space pods to a family reunion where they, and the holograms of their parents, geek out over 80’s human tech.
How to impress your cousin you mean
Both of those being the same thing is still legal most places.
Krypton is more like Alabama than we could have guessed.
The capes have pockets?? Can’t say that’s a bad idea. Velcro closing pockets would be handy
Oh it’s a real thing. The frame seemed older than the 80s
Oh, “the late twentieth century” as someone said to me recently? It was eons ago.
Or “the 1900s,” which is even more painful
But can it run Doom?
What kind of GPU is in there?
The stamp in the top right is the entire removable motherboard. I put my cardputer on a shelf when it got here and I haven’t gotten around to it yet. M5 stack is pretty cool, and I wish I understood it more.
It was actually a joke but is it an actual usable computer? What can it do?
I think it’s mostly for prototyping your own programs, which I haven’t tried yet. It comes with a wifi ssid snooper, and a like greeting card voice recorder/replayer. It’s credit card size, half inch thick. The back half is a removable battery expansion. The stamp has a usb c for data/charging. There’s WiFi, infrared blaster, sd card slot, expansion ports for other sensors. It’s nifty for sure, maybe someday I’ll find a use for it too.
They have pockets in their capes?
Yeah, they’ve featured them in a number of comics. I don’t recall if it had ever been featured in any other media.
Man that looks like an HP12-C.
That’s not a TRS-80. What are they trying to pull?
Looks like the first TRS-80 Pocket Computer: http://www.trs-80.org/pocket-computer-1/
Edit: Unless this is a joke about it being made by Sharp, not Tandy?
Tandy slapped the TRS-80 label on a lot of things that had nothing to do with the original TRS-80 design. The Color Computer line was marketed under that brand, for instance, despite being a completely different, incompatible architecture.
