shit it’s actually real
That's pretty cool to be honest, would buy it for my grandma if she didn't have a note8 already
Here's my contribution, the fitbit charger. Like smartphones never existed
don't laugh this could be YOUR mother

The absolute state of normies
$500 spent to MAKE A GROCERY LIST
I can accomplish the same thing armed with my Moto E4 Plus and a note-taking app, and that shit cost me less than this thing.
I accomplish the same shit with a pen and a piece of paper, or simply my memory. Consumer technology is a meme made to enslave people, to be quite honest
What the fuck is this shit ?
Why ?
>open text editor
>type for a bit

or better yet
>just use a fucking shopping list app
GRUG BASH GROCERY DEVICE ON HARD SURFACE BUT LIST NO CLEAR
It looks like it was first listed on Amazon on October 2, 2001, so it kind of makes sense considering it came out well before smartphones with good audio recognition.
That said, with pencil and paper being a thing I can only see this being useful for someone with parkinsons or something.
>intuitive AA battery interface
not difficult to understand like those pesky C batteries.
kek
>"Have you tried bashing it harder, sir?"
how does it even fit?
This was actually cool!
They should make something like this again!
You remove the straps
fpbp
That is so damm sexy.
Oh man, I remember when this thing came out
That's percussive maintenance. A tried and true technique.
I have one of those. would recommend!
>2013 was 9 years ago
:(
yeah, that looks expensive as fuck
>ask for a quote
"if you've got to ask, you can't afford it"
>ebay: $69,950.00
yup, thought as much
Fucking top zozzle my man
These were popular pre smartphones
holy heck
what does it do? it's a glorified oscilloscope?
whats the deal with expensive oscilloscopes in the first place?
I'll admit, not very rare but still cool at the time.
>Not in a call
Kinda made me sad. It won't ever be in a call again and probably haven't for literal decades by now.
just guessing from that picture
it's a signal analyzer for labs with equipment that would measure all sorts of shit
basically any measurement output can be compared and analyzed against three others
yeah! but couldnt you do that with an old oscilloscope from some school lab
well, you could monitor an output
and nicer oscilloscopes would probably give you a nice graph after the fact
but that thing will do complex shit like differentials on the fly and export things to be worked with later
I would make the comparison of a simple calculator vs a Ti-99
sure you can get most things done with standard functions but in a serious lab environment throwing around a few hundred thousand dollars will save hours of expensive lab time make peoples lives easier
ah, of course. nice comparison. i'm just in the oscilloscope business because i wanna look at the sounds from my modular

>tfw memories of EM Fields & Waves during my junior year of EE
Fuck me, I enjoyed this class back in college. Genuinely shocked that those devices cost that fucking much.
kino part in Scream 2
This old network test rig
the C++ batteries are better though
was 9 years ago
>:(
Are you rarted?
bit
>$170 for this shit
Just...
i like it
>269 customer reviews
wut
The protocol is standard and I believe there are a few clients that still support it.
>tfw friend in uni won one of these in a contest
>he sold it
Fucking fake engineer faggot
pretty sure that's because you're not supposed to use it while it is charging (but I never owned one first hand so maybe not true...)
How much would you want that thing.
from working in a pediatric emergency room, i'll buy into any gimmick to get kids to shut up and stay still
Seriously?
