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.

He would definitely include one of his XKCD phones.

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.
