Just A Quick Question: Does This Actually Work?

Ah, the elusive A: drive. For the younger devs who've never experienced the joy of floppy disks, the A: drive was the default letter for that ancient 3.5" data rectangle that stored a whopping 1.44MB. That's right—not GB, not even MB—just 1.44MB. You could fit approximately one-third of a modern JavaScript framework's readme file on there. These days, most computers don't even have physical drive letters anymore, just abstract mount points that hide in the shadows like well-documented code.

Spent your entire paycheck on 32GB of RAM only to have your Linux system use the bare minimum? Welcome to the club! Linux is like that minimalist friend who visits your mansion and chooses to sleep in the closet. While Windows would sprawl across your entire memory sofa like it owns the place, Linux curls up in the corner, leaving you wondering if your RAM investment was just an expensive flex. The efficiency is impressive, but sometimes you just want your OS to validate your hardware choices by using more than a thimble of resources.

Remember buying that fancy 1TB SSD thinking "I'll never fill this up"? Fast forward to installing Call of Duty and three AAA titles, and suddenly you're getting those pathetic "low disk space" warnings. Modern games are like digital hoarders—200GB here, 150GB there, with updates bigger than entire games from the 2000s. Your SSD never stood a chance against the bloated behemoths that are today's game engines with their 8K textures nobody asked for. The worst part? Half your library sits unplayed while consuming precious storage like a digital black hole.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Oh wait, you can't! Someone's kid built a "gaming PC" out of cardboard and paint. Complete with rainbow fans, a fake SSD, and what appears to be the Windows logo drawn by someone who had Windows described to them over a bad phone connection. The real kicker? It'll probably run Crysis better than my actual machine.

Ah, UserBenchmark—the Fox News of hardware reviews. This gem shows them "objectively" reviewing AMD's RX 9070-XT with all the neutrality of a scorned ex. They're basically saying "Sure, AMD might win some cherry-picked benchmarks, but their GPUs are basically expensive paperweights that cause more stutters than a nervous teenager asking someone to prom." The kicker? That 3% market share stat they pulled out of nowhere while conveniently ignoring that driver issues plague both AMD and NVIDIA. It's like watching someone with an Intel tattoo pretending to give unbiased advice. This is why we can't have nice things in tech journalism.

Spending $150 on a "premium" gaming mouse only to discover it comes with its own special flavor of hell. Logitech mice randomly decide that one click means two, while Razer mice transform scrolling into an extreme sport where your page jumps around like it's on a trampoline. Meanwhile, you're caught in the middle, desperately trying not to fall into the abyss of tech support forums where thousands of others share your pain. The real kicker? That $10 office mouse from 2003 sitting in your drawer would work perfectly fine.
