Potato P: all battery, no laptop.

I’m like 80% sure most of the words used on this sub are made up

Finally, something I can buy.

The designer is creating a computer one could use indefinitely (at least given proper protection from the elements) in a time displacement situation.

Are there bigger screens, regardless of power consumption?

Not quite. In 1992, 66MHz DX2 processors were available to consumers, and 90MHz Pentium chips were right around the corner. I agree that these speeds were a bit out of reach still in '92, but I think it's a stretch to say it would have been a dream.

Yes. I missed punch cards in University by 1 year…. It was late 80s… and there were a few of these “IBM PCs” around too, with 64MB of RAM! Whooo hooo!

Just, nobody look up the coconut one, okay?

Why not solar plates

Yes! Thank you! It drives me barmy when people seem to think you're getting the power from the potato, rather than a copper and zinc strip reacting. It's just a salt bridge. It's not the source of the energy. +

I miss all the noises floppy disk drives used to make.

The CPU speed would have been a dream in 1992, and the RAM insane for 1982

Now I need to know if there’s enough chemical energy in a potato for it to theoretically cook itself.

What is that sub? Is it supposed to be a joke? I've scrolled through and my brain hurts

So how are you holding up?

BECAUSE I’M A POTATO.

We need more analog tech

This is true.

Was this Ellen Ripley’s first PC?

384kB of RAM and a meg of solid state storage and a 96 MHz chip was more in the realm of sci-fi in 1972. Fast forward, and computers like the Mac, Atari ST and Amiga had 512kB, no flash and ran at 7 -8MHz

Goddamn the memories. It made school so much more bearable. Don’t think I would’ve survived without it.

Is it one of those fake ones on cheap calculators that actually uses a battery, lol.

That amount would be like a failed business for this many employees.

Guarantee you their revenue will be one or more magnitudes of order over 2 million per year.

Also it has a solar panel lol
