Well, if they are going to ship a codec, they will have to make a choice for the CPU architecture or even have to ship a CPU. Then they might have to ship some batteries as well
And of course, a full source code and the cross-compiler. On a CD-ROM.
Lol. But seriously, the irony is CD-ROM's degrade to completely unusable within a century due to disc rot. A CD-ROM made with gold and completely encapsulated in an extremely stable enamel might work. Then, leaving universal instructions as to how to use said CD-ROM is important, rather than arrogantly presumptive anthropocentrism.
A CD-ROM rots fast due to the deyes, but what about a normal pressed CD of aluminum? Those should be pretty stable. I have only seen those destroyed with sunlight.
Do you think NASA burned a 24x CD-ROM from their PC and added it to New Horizons?
