Wow… I didn’t know you could get a quantum processor for so cheap

Didn't they have a "Stealth Fighter" that people spotted generic General Aviation equipment in and was basically a hilarious fantasy mockup? Shocking!

LOL I did not know about that. That's hilarious!

Maybe a dev board was so revolutionary to them they thought it was quantum tech

Is the board in the picture what they tried to pass off as a quantum processor?

There’s no way anyone actually fell for that

It's insane that they took a picture with a dev board and thought that would fly

Audio jacks, VGA, and HDMI, I think. Things you'd expect from a quantum board.

Do you really expect the to break encryption, and explore quantum probabilities without being able to listen to Spotify?

They probably used it to watch Interstellar so they could get some of that sweet sweet Quantum Data
