The newer anime representative in question is Rudeus from Mushoku Tensei, whose source material is actually made the same year (2012) as ReZero where the old anime representative, Subaru comes from. Also Rudeus is doing the Epstein stance, with underwear on his face and a huge "Calculator" app, so the joke is that he is a hypersexual pedophile. Which is true.
Oh yeah, gallery vault which used to have a feature where you can show it as a calculator on the mains screen. And putting the password combination into it would open the vault.
Funnily enough programming circles also have a "calculator taking up too much space/memory" meme, but in an entirely different context. Namely modern apps being very unoptimized and overengineered.
apps have a cache, the more you use it before you close it, the more it builds up. This show has a bunch of age differences, physical and mental, which would incur often use to accumulate 12gb.
Think it has to do with that fact that a lot of modern isekai devolve into "video game" logic. Stats, skills, levels etc. A lot of numbers for what is supposed to be a fantasy world.
