HTML Accelerator is an open source PCB design by akaStanley: a 4-layer, 129.3 × 109 mm board with 170 components (36 distinct parts). It is built around the MCS9990, AP1513, CAT24C256YI-GT3, AU6438BS and more.

A functioning version of the fictional PCIE card

To make a very long story short, this meme showed up on twitter in October 2020 for a fake PCIE add-in card that speeds up your web browser: https://twitter.com/_Ninji/status/1317197426449633281

My friends and I thought it was hilarious, something so meticulously useless. We immediately shared it with each other--hammering the original iMessage thread so much that it became a meme in and of itself. Later, it evolved into an unspoken rule that when someone evidently shared a duplicate meme in our iMessage group we all rushed to reply with pictures of this HTML5 Accelerator to call them out.
