I Fear No Man But Open Air Cases

The embedded systems world is having a full-blown affair with C/C++ while giving Rust the cold shoulder. Despite Rust's memory safety guarantees and zero-cost abstractions, embedded devs keep crawling back to their toxic exes C and C++. It's like watching someone choose dial-up when fiber is available because "we've always done it this way." The embedded community's relationship status with C/C++ is definitely: "It's complicated" – and by complicated, I mean "refusing to move on despite all the segfaults and buffer overflows."

Ah, the sweet sound of innovation! ASUS engineers meticulously selecting the loudest possible coil whine for their GPUs, as if they're crafting a symphony of annoyance for gamers everywhere. Nothing says "high-performance computing" quite like the banshee screech of electrical components at 3 AM while you're trying to stealth through a game. It's their signature feature - why have silent computing when you can have your own personal electronic cicada? Clearly, they test these in soundproof labs while wearing industrial-grade ear protection.

Ah, the classic GPU airflow debate! The top card actually allows air to pass through its heatsink (revolutionary concept, I know), while the bottom one is basically an airtight vault where heat goes to party. GPU designers somehow decided that making sleek, sealed bricks that cook themselves alive is the pinnacle of engineering. It's like building a car with the exhaust pipe connected to the air intake—technically impressive but thermodynamically questionable. Your fancy RTX might render ray-traced graphics at 4K, but it'll also double as an expensive space heater during winter.

What happens when Richard Stallman designs transportation? You get this monstrosity - a vehicle so free it's practically anarchist. The license plate says it all: pure, unfiltered hatred for proprietary drivers. This is peak FOSS evangelism on wheels. The solar panels aren't just for energy - they're a political statement. And of course Windows are bloat - they probably add at least 2GB to the car's weight. The stuffed GNU mascot instead of a rearview mirror is just *chef's kiss* - safety regulations are just another form of proprietary control anyway.

THE ULTIMATE TECH IRONY! 💀 While your cousin won't shut up about his voice-activated toaster, actual software engineers are living in digital POVERTY with ONE printer that's basically on parole! The sheer AUDACITY of printers to make those unholy demon noises at 2AM is the real reason tech workers have trust issues. We don't need smart homes when we're too busy contemplating HOMICIDE against our HP OfficeJet that decided printing is more of a "suggestion" than a "function." The cobbler's children have no shoes, and the programmer's house has exactly ONE piece of technology—and it's the most TRAUMATIZING one!

The GPU time warp is real! While some poor souls are already complaining about the RTX 5090 being "terrible," others are mentally stuck in 2022 thinking the 4090 just launched "a few months ago." The pandemic really broke everyone's internal clock—two years of GPU generations might as well be two weeks. Next they'll be shocked to learn we're not still in March 2020 and sourdough isn't trending anymore.
