Hivemapper Dashcam HDC S
Model: HDC-S-0HE1-001
S/N: HDCS 807

Well, this is an “interesting” device, I grabbed it from ewaste thinking this could be a good webcam or security camera. And it is, in a way – a dashcam that they supposedly paid you in cryptocurrency to drive around while this documented the scenery and road. In short, some custom hardware for mapping roads as you drive, so you can earn their custom cryptocurrency which has devalued. These HDC-S models are recently EOL, and are not recognized in windows or OS X (I have not tried Linux or BSD). They are listed for stupid money on eBay, but I was unable to get them to work for anything.

Apple Lisa, MacIntosh, and a box
Computer History Museum
Mountain View, CA

A #ThrowbackThursday in honor of Apple's 50th anniversary.

At right a Lisa, in the middle the MacIntosh, and then some sort of ugly box 😉 Monitors above (somewhat cut off) display typical OS screens.
