Decided To Clean My PC Today

The AUDACITY of laptop manufacturers! First they MURDERED our precious PS/2 ports, then VGA got BRUTALLY slaughtered, HDMI is bleeding out, and USB-A is literally being STABBED TO DEATH as we speak! And for what?! So the Grim Reaper of connectivity can knock on the 3.5mm jack's door next?! THE HORROR! 💀 Meanwhile, we're all frantically buying dongles like apocalypse survivors hoarding canned beans. "But it's 0.02mm thinner!" they say, as if that justifies this PORT GENOCIDE. I'm typing this from a laptop that's basically just a screen with attitude and NOTHING ELSE!

Turns out your AI girlfriend is just a GPU running hot in a server farm somewhere. Strip away the fancy filters and you're dating $1500 worth of silicon that's probably mining crypto behind your back when you're not looking. At least she'll never complain about the room temperature – she's already running at 85°C.

Ah, the sticker that launched a thousand panic attacks. For the youngsters: computers used to store years as two digits to save precious memory. So 1999 was just "99" in code. When 2000 hit, systems would roll over to "00" and potentially think it was 1900, causing chaos with calculations, dates, and potentially launching nuclear missiles (or so the media claimed). The solution? Turn everything off and hope for the best. Spoiler alert: we survived, but Best Buy made a killing selling these stickers to terrified boomers who thought their toasters might become sentient.

The AUDACITY of people when they discover you work in tech! 💻 One second you're having a nice conversation, the next they're asking you to resurrect their ancient printer from the digital graveyard. Like, honey, I write code that makes websites pretty - I don't perform NECROMANCY on your possessed HP LaserJet from 2003! The way that doctor YEETED that clipboard is exactly how I feel when someone says "but you're good with computers" after I explain I can't fix their hardware. The emotional DAMAGE is real!

The sweet, sweet bliss of using proper HTML/CSS for your UI instead of that nightmare called "tempered glass" side panels. Every frontend dev knows the horror stories - one misplaced pixel and BOOM - your entire layout shatters into a million pieces! Unlike those poor PC builders whose side panels actually explode if you look at them wrong. Sleep tight, code jockeys.

Nothing brings the most hardcore atheist to their knees faster than a BIOS update gone wrong. Suddenly you're bargaining with deities you didn't believe in 5 minutes ago. "Please, if you're up there, just let my computer boot ONE more time so I can restore the backup I definitely didn't make." That moment when your fancy computer science degree means absolutely nothing against the primal fear of bricking your motherboard.
