Dear GPU Designers, Please Stop Doing This

When your boss says they hired a "technical expert" to fix your slow computer. Sure enough, here's the "RAM upgrade" in progress – a cat literally trying to get inside the PC case. Bet they're charging you $200/hour for this "specialized service." Next up: the cat will chase the mouse cursor and call it "pointer optimization."

Ah, the classic "congratulations, you played yourself" moment in mobile firmware. This is what happens when you try to be clever with custom ROMs and end up with a paperweight instead. Flashing ROMs is like performing surgery on your phone - except the patient is cursing at you the whole time. The error message's casual profanity and specific callout to Indian customers is the chef's kiss of authenticity. It's the digital equivalent of your server saying "enjoy your meal" and you responding "you too." Remember kids: backups are like condoms. Better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it.

Nothing quite captures the shock of watching your $1000 GPU melt like a surprised Pikachu face. You bought that fancy RTX card knowing it had "issues," yet somehow expected different results? Classic definition of insanity right there. The real kicker is how we all act surprised when technology with known defects does exactly what everyone warned us about. Next time just set your money on fire directly—at least you'll save on the electricity bill.

Remember when buying a GPU was just an expense and not a second mortgage? In 2009, dropping $500 on a graphics card felt like a splurge. Fast forward to 2025, and you're staring at a $4,799 price tag with the same horrified expression as someone who just found out their entire codebase has no comments. Thanks crypto miners, AI enthusiasts, and whatever unholy alliance of market forces conspired to make rendering pixels cost more than my first car. At this rate, we'll soon be trading organs for ray tracing capabilities.

The fourth horseman of the apocalypse: cleaning your PC and accidentally unplugging something critical. That moment when you're just trying to be responsible and remove some dust, only to create a non-booting monster. The panic that floods your entire brain is perfectly captured by that all-red headache diagram. Nothing quite matches the existential dread of pressing the power button after maintenance and being greeted with... absolutely nothing. Suddenly you're questioning every life decision that led to this moment, including whether compressed air should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction.

Ah, the classic "locally running fine-tuned model" joke that perfectly skewers both tech bros and Nvidia's marketing department in one fell swoop. This is riffing on how Nvidia has been aggressively pushing AI capabilities in everything from gaming to dating. The tweet satirizes the absurd endpoint of this trend – where even your romantic partners need to be running on local hardware to be "legitimate." As someone who's watched GPU prices skyrocket while marketing slides get increasingly unhinged, I feel this in my empty wallet. Next they'll be selling us RTX 5090s with "girlfriend-ready ray tracing" for the low price of your firstborn child.
