That’s impressive, but in the end there is only one question:
Can it run Crysis?
I thought the benchmark was whether it can play Doom?
No, everything can run Doom.
Now.
If this computer from the 1950s can play DOOM, I’m gonna say there’s a good chance the Voyager computer can: https://youtu.be/no0CkQk7id0
Dude! This is rad!
I thought I’d just check it out and move on, but the subject, aspects and video editing pulled me in more. Solid video share! =D
Except ur mom because she’s so fat she can’t run.
Sorry, a joke from the Doom era escaped…
Her pacemaker can run it though
Her vibrator can as well.
I’m kinda surprised there isn’t an old Newgrounds animation based off this concept.
Nothing can run Crysis properly…
Real crisis has never been tried before
What about Deep Blue?
I could fit DOOM on one of them there spayce probes yonder.
Someone will try to run Doom on it.
But can it run Crysis?
Only VGR can do that.
Ok but what about the shareholders?
“Space billionaires”
No they’re still on Earth actually, though they’re running on software written in the 50s
but can it run out of the solar system?
It already did. Many times.
sus
Agree, hard to run with no legs in a vacuum.
I can fit DOOM on one of them there spayce probes.
It’s a hippy. On a road trip. It’s memory is the size of a thimble. It’s listening to hippy music.
And it’s far out, man.
And it’s far out, man.
I wonder if any aliens ever ran into this, if they’d be like wow, this tech is so low, let’s not bother with who sent it.
Or if they’d be like, it looks like it took 100 years to get here, let’s see what they did in 100 years.
They’d discover humanity peaked in 1999 and decide it is best to just leave us alone.
Probably the second one

Nice
62 kb is Norton Utilities.

I really it would be working if it had newer hardware or software.
Do not the space probe
past, the space probe gone
Shaka, when the walls fell!
You a word
Welp… so be it.

That’s a long way still only 1/374th of a light year, to keep things in perspective.
I thought it hit a light day away a couple years ago, or was that Voyager 2?
Holy shit, that’s insane
Yea but can you imagine how long that thing takes to load a JPEG?
15.7 billion miles (168 AU)
Americans will convert their miles to every yee yee ass unit under the sun before using metric.
To be fair AU means more to me than miles or km in this case… 168 times further from us than we are to the sun.
But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters.
But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters.
You think you’re being witty, but you’ve just unintentionally shown why the metric system is so good.
25.1 terameters => 25,100 gigameters => 25,100,000 kilometers.
Easy as pie.
Edit: Ahh crap, I forgot about megameters. It comes out to 25,100,000,000 km. Sorry for the metric ton of confusion.
Psst. You forgot the megameters.
How could I forget about the megameters???
You’re missing a few zeroes there I think
Just a few 😉
Is Pi in metrics is 1.0?
It’s quiche in metric.
Idk what these imperialist donkeys are talking about. 1 terameter is 10^6 kilometers. You’re spot on.
Thanks for the support, but I was indeed mistaken.
Ohh, now I see it. The typo at the bottom. Missed that.
Your little off-by-one-thousand mistake is evidence that meters are ill-fitted for astronomy. au, al and pc exist for a reason
I checked and only au (astronomical unit) is listed in SI, while not being a SI unit per se
Never said they were fitted, just that the conversion between units is (supposed to be) simple.
It is but I would advise using scientific notation with exponent instead, it’s harder to make a mistake
Though AU is a pretty legitimate term if you don’t want to be going in Tera - Giga territory.
I’d assume astronomers other than in the US also use it.At that scale meters and miles are pretty close with respect to orders of magnitude, which is why practically everyone talks about these scales in AUs regardless of what units they actually used to do the science.
But, but… How do we extract value from it? No micro transactions? No ad revenue? Can we sell it? Write it off as a loss? Is there at least a credit card reader so aliens can sign up for recurring payments?
It’s a moonshot in that it has a very tiny likelihood of attracting alien intelligence that is such a game changer that it brings an unfathomable amount of wealth to our planet.
Allien Intelligence = potential investors and potential shareholder value. They could also destroy the planet.
They’re already bought puts for the case…
Plus if the documentaries, “2012” and snowpiercer have taught us anything. It’s that the rich will survive.
Jokes on us, investors and shareholders are already doing that.
I’d argue that the type of people who make those investment decisions often don’t put the proper weight on “destroy the planet” risk when calculating their expected value.
