Yeah I tried to replicate the XKCD comic feel by using the XKCD font. I came across that particular paper in one of my class, and someone pointed out that the choice of devices is rather weird, which is where the inspiration came from.

This feels like an xkcd comic. Was this inspired by a specific one?

I think it’s just the font, but XKCD would have recreated the table and added a subtle, obscure reference to acknowledge in the alt text.
