I Will Find The Guy Who Did This...

The paranoid tech veteran's approach to data security: physically removing the hard drive platters. Sure, you could use DBAN or a hammer, but where's the satisfaction in that? This is like bringing a tactical nuke to a knife fight—complete overkill that would make any security auditor simultaneously applaud and facepalm. For the uninitiated, those metal discs (platters) are where your embarrassing browser history and collection of half-finished side projects actually live. No platters = no evidence of that framework you started building in 2018 and abandoned after three commits. Bonus points for the "I was bored" justification—the universal explanation for both brilliant engineering solutions and catastrophic tech disasters since the dawn of computing.

The fiery hellscape that is your boot sequence when you've allowed every launcher, storefront, and service to automatically start with Windows. Doom Guy would be proud of your PC fighting through Chrome, Steam, Discord, EA, Epic, Ubisoft, Spotify, and whatever else demands immediate attention before you can even think about doing actual work. Pro tip: the startup folder isn't meant to be a collection of "everything you've ever installed."

Someone etched the ultimate controversial opinion into their PCB design: "Pineapple on pizza should be illegal." The hardware equivalent of sneaking an Easter egg into your code! Circuit board designers often leave these hidden messages in copper traces that only other engineers will discover during maintenance. It's like finding a secret comment in production code that wasn't caught in code review. The real genius? This debate will still be raging long after this board is obsolete. Talk about persistent storage for your hot takes!

The ABSOLUTE DRAMA of tech rivalries, darling! PlayStation (with its iconic logo plastered on) is having a full-blown meltdown, claiming to have MURDERED Xbox. Meanwhile, Microsoft is standing there like "Um, sweetie... you just wounded the competition a bit, let's not be dramatic." But PlayStation is COMMITTED to the narrative, pointing at the smoking gun like "SEE?! DEAD! I DID THAT!" The tech industry's version of a soap opera, where everyone thinks they've delivered the killing blow when they've just released a slightly better graphics card. TRAGIC! 💅

The eternal GPU pricing purgatory we're all trapped in. Every hardware cycle, that one friend swears prices will drop "soon" after the next release. Meanwhile, your wallet weeps as prices only climb higher while you're still running a 1060 from 2016 that sounds like a jet engine when you open Chrome. The tombstone for "GPU prices will settle soon" might as well be my desktop background at this point.

Ah, the dystopian future we've built ourselves! Smart beds that need AWS to function properly is peak 21st century nonsense. Imagine spending $3000 on a bed that suddenly decides to turn into a George Foreman grill because some server farm in Virginia had a hiccup. This is why my grandpa's wooden bed frame from 1962 remains undefeated. Zero cloud dependencies, zero chance of waking up at a 45-degree angle because a DevOps intern pushed to production on a Friday afternoon. Remember when "it just works" meant something actually worked? Now it means "it just works until the next outage, then you're sleeping in a hot dog toaster."
