Stop People Stealing Website Images: The Escalating Madness
The evolution of image protection from amateur hour to galaxy brain: First stage: "Let's disable right-click!" - the digital equivalent of putting a 'Do Not Touch' sign on a cookie jar. Cute. Second stage: "I'll detect dev tools!" Because surely no one would ever use a second device to take a photo of their screen. Revolutionary thinking there. Third stage: The convoluted PNG-video-DRM-EME pipeline. Six meetings, three sprints, and a product manager's career highlight to implement. Final stage: The ultimate overkill - capturing user clicks to dynamically regenerate encrypted frames. Because nothing says "reasonable solution" like burning a server farm to protect your stock photos. Meanwhile, users just press Print Screen and move on with their lives.

The Three Certainties Of Life
Benjamin Franklin once said only two things were certain: death and taxes. If he were a gamer today, he'd add a third: Steam updates blocking your gaming session. Nothing like sitting down for a quick game after a long day only to be greeted by the update progress bar from hell. The ancient update ritual that somehow always kicks in precisely when you have 30 minutes to play. At this point, I'm convinced Valve employs psychics who know exactly when I'm about to launch a game.

It Worked. I Don't Know Why. I'm Scared.
The universal debugging experience in two frames: First, your code inexplicably works after 17 random changes and you have no idea which one fixed it. Then comes the existential dread of knowing you'll have to maintain this mysterious black box tomorrow. The fear isn't from bugs—it's from the working code you can't explain. Nothing more terrifying than success you don't understand.

Developers Will Always Find A Way
The classic developer hack - when you can't change the requirements, just redefine reality. Fallout 3 devs couldn't code a functioning train, so they just slapped a train model on an NPC's head and made him run underground. It's basically the game dev equivalent of saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature" and actually meaning it. Somewhere, a senior engineer is still defending this in architecture reviews as "an elegant solution given the constraints." This is why we can't have nice things... but we do get train hats.

Who Needs Junior Devs Anyway
The modern tech company hierarchy in one perfect image. Junior dev happily letting AI do the heavy lifting while the senior dev is stuck reviewing 500 lines of algorithmic word vomit. Meanwhile, the project manager is just pointing a gun at everyone's back screaming about deadlines. And there sits the CEO, blissfully unaware in his ivory pew, dreaming about firing the entire dev team because ChatGPT told him it could do their jobs. Ten years of experience just to babysit robot output – exactly what we all went to college for!

Finally Got Myself An AMD 9080
Ah yes, the new AMD 9080. Runs Crysis at 0.0001 FPS and doubles as a museum exhibit. That's not a graphics card—it's an AM9080 CPU from the 1970s. While everyone's fighting scalpers for RTX cards, you've gone full retro and time-traveled to computing's Jurassic period. Bold strategy. At least your vintage processor doesn't need a liquid cooling system... just some dust removal and possibly carbon dating.

It's 2025: Microsoft's Terrifying GitHub Request
The year is 2025. Microsoft has fully absorbed GitHub, and the dystopian nightmare begins. GitHub users cower in fear as Microsoft whispers "Come closer..." only to drop the bombshell: "I NEED YOU TO ADD IPV6 SUPPORT TO GITHUB." It's the ultimate plot twist! After all the fears of Microsoft injecting telemetry, ads, or subscription tiers into GitHub, they're just desperately trying to drag their acquisition into modern networking standards. Still running on legacy IPv4 in 2025? That's the real horror story! The internet ran out of IPv4 addresses years ago, but GitHub's still clinging to them like SpongeBob to his spatula.

Keep Calm And Blame Bill Gates
The universal scapegoat of the tech world strikes again! When your Windows crashes, your Microsoft Office subscription expires unexpectedly, or that weird bug appears after an update — just blame Bill Gates. Never mind that he hasn't actively run Microsoft since 2008. The best part? This excuse works equally well for non-tech people trying to explain why their printer isn't working and senior developers who can't figure out why their legacy code is suddenly failing. It's the tech equivalent of "the dog ate my homework" — except everyone nods in understanding.

The Fastest Things On Earth
Ah, the eternal quest for speed. Cheetahs? Fast. Airplanes? Faster. Speed of light? Impressive. But nothing—and I mean nothing —breaks the sound barrier quite like that app you rewrote from Python to C++. After weeks of replacing those cozy, readable Python lines with pointer arithmetic and memory management nightmares, your application now runs so fast it's practically time-traveling. Sure, it took 10x longer to develop and the codebase is now an impenetrable fortress of segfaults waiting to happen, but hey—look at that progress bar maxed out! Worth every sleepless night debugging those memory leaks. Totally.

Few Things Won't Change
The year is 2070. Flying cars exist. We've colonized Mars. Quantum computing powers everything. But the Linux kernel? Still not "vibe code." Some poor maintainer is getting a pull request rejected because Linus doesn't think their commit messages spark joy. 50 years from now and we'll still be using git, still dealing with legacy code from the 90s, and still arguing about tabs vs spaces. The more technology advances, the more kernel development stays exactly the same.

Humble Albanian Virus
The world's most polite malware just slid into your DMs! When your antivirus is so underfunded it has to rely on the honor system. Honestly, this virus deserves a job in customer support with that level of politeness. It's basically the equivalent of a burglar knocking on your door and asking if you'd mind leaving some valuables outside for them to steal. The best part? Someone out there probably clicked "Yes" because they felt bad for it. Social engineering at its most adorably pathetic.

Imagine How Long This Would Take...
SWEET MOTHER OF STORAGE NIGHTMARES! Windows 11 on 45,686 floppy disks?! Just IMAGINE the absolute hellscape of sitting there, feeding disk after disk into your computer like some deranged digital hamster for what would literally be WEEKS of your life! You'd be gray-haired and developing carpal tunnel syndrome by disk 387, contemplating your life choices by disk 12,493, and probably dead of old age before you even reached the halfway point! And don't you DARE sneeze near disk 32,651 or you'll have to start ALL OVER AGAIN! Modern operating systems have gone from megabytes to gigabytes to "let's just consume your entire existence" bytes!
