Never Obsolete

The eternal struggle of PC builders trying to maintain neutrality in the GPU holy wars. Pressing both the "Not being a fanboy of Nvidia" and "Not being a fanboy of AMD" buttons simultaneously is the computing equivalent of Switzerland – theoretically possible but practically impossible. Meanwhile, everyone's wallet is crying in the corner as both companies charge "totally reasonable" prices that mysteriously keep climbing. The true enlightenment is realizing you're getting gouged either way, but at least you can pretend to be above the fanboy fray while secretly having strong opinions about DLSS vs FSR.

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.

THE POWER BUTTON PLACEMENT NIGHTMARE! Whoever designed this laptop keyboard clearly wanted to watch the world burn. That power button—SANDWICHED between Print Screen and Delete—is just BEGGING to shut down your computer right when you're about to save that code you've been working on for 6 hours straight! One tiny finger slip and POOF! Your masterpiece vanishes into the digital void! It's like putting a self-destruct button next to the coffee cup holder. Pure keyboard TERRORISM! 💀

Ah yes, the legendary SATA cable marked "ASAP" - when your data transfer needs to happen yesterday. Nothing says "high priority computing" like a cable that's literally labeled with urgency. Somewhere, a sysadmin is nodding knowingly while muttering "faster than USB, slower than my patience." The irony of hardware that can't actually go any faster despite its desperate labeling is the silent scream of IT departments everywhere.

Remember when we actually needed DxDiag? That little Windows diagnostic tool was our sacred ritual before installing a new game. "Can I run Crysis?" wasn't a meme—it was a genuine existential crisis that required consulting the oracle of DirectX Diagnostics. These days, kids just download whatever 200GB monstrosity Steam is featuring without a second thought. Meanwhile, I still instinctively reach for Win+R and type "dxdiag" whenever something doesn't run right—like checking the oil in a Tesla.

Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!
