Do Not Drink The Mastercard Mouse Water

Ah, the irony of modern gaming. Your 3.30 GHz CPU is too powerful for a game that once ran on machines that couldn't even stream a cat GIF. Imagine having to sabotage your own hardware because some developer didn't account for the fact that computers have evolved since 1993. It's like buying a Ferrari and then removing the engine because the parking space is designed for a tricycle. The cherry on top is that 74.80 GB requirement - original DOOM fit on a few floppy disks, but now we need half a hard drive just to render the same demons in slightly higher resolution. Progress!

OH. MY. GOD. Someone took "thumb drive" WAY too literally! Instead of using an actual USB flash drive to update their BIOS like a normal human being, this tech rebel just JAMMED THEIR ACTUAL THUMB into the computer port! The audacity! The innovation! The sheer disregard for basic computer anatomy! I'm having heart palpitations just looking at this hardware violation. Next thing you know they'll be "installing more RAM" by shoving a sheep into their PC case. THE HORROR!

The birds and bees talk for electronics. That IC chip is surrounded by resistors with their little wire tails wiggling toward it like eager electronic sperm. Somewhere, a soldering iron is getting hot and bothered watching this unfold on a breadboard. Next week on "How It's Made": RAM sticks.

The joke that never gets old, unlike your GPU! When Nvidia "displays their entire stock" of RTX 3080s in 2020, they're literally showing the ONE card they had available. Four years later and we're still experiencing the same supply chain theater - fancy press releases followed by six months of "out of stock" notifications. Scalpers continue to be the real GPU architects, designing elaborate systems to separate you from your money while you desperately try to run Cyberpunk above 30fps. The crypto bros may have moved on, but somehow graphics cards remain as elusive as documentation that actually matches the codebase.

Oh. My. GOD. The existential CRISIS of tech support in its purest form! 😱 Support rep Sanjay is out here trying to be a THERAPIST while this poor soul is having a complete meltdown over a malfunctioning mouse. "Nothing helped I'm afraid" isn't just about the mouse anymore—it's about LIFE, people! And then Sanjay with the philosophical "May I know why you are afraid?" like he's ready to dive into the customer's childhood trauma. HONEY, THE MOUSE IS THE LEAST OF THEIR PROBLEMS NOW! The customer's deadpan "it's a figure of speech" response is the tech support equivalent of "Sir, this is a Wendy's." Pure comedy GOLD in the trenches of hardware support hell!

Someone took "more holes = better airflow" to its logical extreme by apparently drilling hundreds of extra holes into their PC case. This is the hardware equivalent of optimizing your code by removing all the whitespace. Sure, technically you've increased ventilation, but at what cost? Your warranty, structural integrity, and dignity all died for a 0.5°C temperature drop. Next up: watercooling with an actual garden hose.
