A slightly unhinged calculator fact: in the golden era of electronic calculators, some Japanese shopkeepers were reluctant to trust the newfangled tool, so Sharp made a line of combination calculator / abacus devices.
Here's a photo, next to some other stuff I own.

@lcamtuf@infosec.exchange Rofl, I love the calculator wand. It's literally just a calculator that's just harder to use, but I guess at least you can wave it around. (Is it also a pen maybe? There seems to be some kind of tip.)
That mechanical thing seems neat as heck if it actually works. I'm guessing we're talking simple addition or something with it?
