So today DankPods did a calculator thing, and I just did an MP3 player thing? What is life anymore.
-
Fun fact, Texas Instruments also makes targeting pods, missiles, and bombs for the military
-
When in doubt, just "A M O R T"

That HP calculator is a finance calculator. I found one laying around my house and used it in my college finance classes. Huge learning curve, but definitely a fun thing to fuck around with
-
The HP12C is a Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) calculator. Instead of taking the calculation function between inputs (2 + 2) it takes the function after the inputs (2 2 +). So to do 2 + 2 you have to type 2 then enter then 2 then +

"I'm not a maths guy, I studied jazz" resonates hard

Those tri-color Bic pens were literally game changing for me as a kid. I grilled my parents for months, begging them to explain how such a obviously magical device worked. We had to take apart one of them so I'd finally shut up. Lol, but then they accidentally broke it, so I kept pestering them until they got me another one. Half a year spent antagonizing my parents. XD

The HP calculator was a financial calculator. They actually use the same button style set up for calculators used in examinations. The "amort" button was for calculating amortization, and the machine was able to adjust payments for "time value of money" principles used in finance! That's actually a really cool find!!

He's gonna blow a gasket for sure when he'll learn that old TI calculators can play chiptune music through the 2.5mm jack port.
-
I love how graphing calculators can play games in alot of cases. Also the solar cells are usually fake. If they're real theyre usually decent calculators
-
My dad is a financial advisor and his HP12C comes with him literally everywhere. It can genuinely do some pretty amazing stuff. His old one died after YEARS and he went out and found one of the same model to replace it because of how much he uses that thing
-
4:44 that defeated "AMORT" killed me.
-
I just watched 11 minutes of calculators. I am convinced Wade could review pennies and I'd still be riveted.
-
The HP where he "amorted" too hard is a financial calculator. We still used ones a lot like that (not even much smaller) in my undergrad finance classes in 2020. They must have been huge convinces when they came out because manually doing an amortization or calculating NPV by hand takes ages and is very prone to mistakes.

I had the biggest goddamn smile on my face from those nixie tubes, omg I love the singer so much
-
I so badly want to see Techmoan, LGR, and Dankpods in the same room, presenting some wonderful nugget together.
-
From IPods to Fakepods to headphones to… Calculator’s?? HE HAS REACHED THE BEST CONTENT POSSIBLE!!
-
When you pulled out that HP 12C, it reminded me of how my dad's used one of those bad boys since 1989 and changed the batteries once in it. He received a 4-week course from his employer on how to use the damn thing too. Anything he does remotely related to money or math, that 12C comes out. Also, AMORT is amortization.

“Cuts through the office air like a… like a big brick really” - 2:14 oh man that made me choke on my coffee.
