Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

No that's not it. It was like a cube. The articles I read showed pictures of it being like a dark blue color. This is not what I am searching for. But thanks.
And I don't use Google. I use DuckDuckGo and udm14.org
No, not the one from the Loki show... It was like a computer. I don't remember exactly what it did, but there was a lot of hype around it. Well, maybe "a lot" is an over exaggeration, but there were news stories written about it. I remember reading at least two articles on two different sites.
Maybe it was a premonition or it already altered reality
How would it be a promotion? It looked nothing like it did in the MCU. It had circuits and other parts like a graphics card does, or a motherboard. The circuit board was a dark blue, I think.
Edit: Turns out I can't read. I read your comment as "Maybe it was a promotion or altered reality (as in ARG)". But no, I don't think that is the case. It's not like remembering a detail wrong, like with the Mandela Effect. I couldn't just have imagined reading several articles on a product. That's not how it works, I don't think.
One time I did some strong LSD and went online and saw news stories about my own death. I'm not saying you're wrong and honestly believe you, but just letting you know the stories can appear, but at least in my case, hopefully they weren't real. Let's say it was a premonition though, what companies should I invest in?
I'm just playing about the investment part, not the LSD thing though. Is this what you're thinking about?

Actually, that could be it. I remember reading something about improved latency and changes in physical computing architecture. I'm not 100% sure this is it, but it's definitely close to what I remember.
Well, I did not do any LSD ever, so I don't think that's it either. Interesting story, though.
Just to rule this out: are you certain that you're not confusing this 3D projection of a tesseract with some other news?
Or if you are certain that you saw hardware in a cube shape, did its design give you any clue why it was named "tesseract" - similar to this PC.
It was not a 3D render, it was a photo of a piece of hardware in the shape of a cube. Not cube-like, a cube with some parts sticking out. I'm like 90% sure it was mostly circuit board in deep blue. I don't think it was a PC per se, but definitely physical hardware. And the official name might not be "The Tesseract" but that's what all the articles called it.
I feel like I'm having a Mandela Effect moment because this seems very familiar.
I did some searching and it reminded me that there was a shop called Tesseract Computers in my home town.
For the blue cube, are you perhaps thinking of an SGI workstation of some sort? Some of those were blue cubes.
The SGI workstation looks nothing like the cube I'm talking about. It's cube-like, I admit, but the Tesseract was a perfect cube, all sides even. It had different components on different sides, exposed circuitry.
