TI Beats CASIO in Graphing Calculator Market (2004) - eviltoast

I’m pretty sure you know what follows…

Image transcript

A recreation of the Piper Perri Surrounded meme. A white CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS calculator is laid on its side on a cushion while three TI-83 Plus and two TI-84 Plus calculators, all black, are standing behind the cushion. The faces of corresponding actors are shown in 4-tone pixelated pictures on each calculator’s respective screens, grayscale on the TIs and sepia-toned on the CASIO thanks to its (limited) color graphics. Words of the text “Original meme by Chaotic Neutral Czech” are used in place of the SHIFT functions on a row of keys on the Casio as a mild watermark.

    Thank you for the transcript. My toilet is behind thick walls with limited wifi connectivity and while the images load I love to read the transcripts. One of the best etiquette I’ve seen as of yet.

      And people still have the audacity to say ViSuALLy iMpAiReD pEoPLe aRe jUsT 1% oF iNtErNeT uSeRs… Meanwhile I am enjoying a free 1 MB/day of cellular data on a prepaid card due to a provider’s billing glitch so I have my SIM in an old 2G Nokia and browse the web on Opera Mini with images disabled.

      I believe in the curb cut effect so I try to follow accessibility guidelines wherever possible. I wonder when YT allows for visually impaired audio tracks so that people who only listen don’t miss important details conveyed viaually in video essays. I hate it when the narrator refers to a simple pie chart when they could have said the percentage out loud, especially if they speak redundantly elsewhere. Or when creators of obviously scripted videos don’t at least upload the script for better subtitles. Or when video annotations were removed instead of YT making at least the non-interactive ones work on mobile. Or when websites and apps restrict copying text… and all other DRM can go fuck itself, too.
