The Cobbler's Children Have No Smart Home

Nothing says "trust our technology" like NVIDIA's CEO casually pondering our AI-driven extinction while selling the very hardware that'll power it. "Hey, we might all die horribly, but at least we'll die on cutting-edge NVIDIA architecture!" Talk about the ultimate sales pitch. The tech industry has gone from "our product will change your life" to "our product might end all life, but look how efficiently it'll do it!" That 80% GPU market share will be super comforting when Skynet becomes self-aware.

When DLSS and FSR came along, budget gamers rejoiced: "Finally! My potato GPU can run Cyberpunk without melting!" Meanwhile, game devs were like "Perfect! Now we can skip optimization entirely and just crank up the system requirements!" It's the classic tech arms race - for every frame-boosting technology we get, developers find a way to make games even more demanding. Your fancy upscaling just bought you six months before the next poorly optimized AAA title makes your GPU cry again.

The great FPS divide - where one group has a complete meltdown if their game drops below 100 frames per second, while the other group just silently endures slideshow-level performance like battle-hardened veterans. Remember coding on those ancient machines where compiling took so long you could brew coffee, drink it, and still have time for existential dread? That's the 30 FPS crowd - they've seen things, man. Meanwhile, the 100+ FPS folks are like those junior devs who complain when npm install takes more than 10 seconds.

Developers will complain about a whisper-quiet cooling fan but then happily type on a mechanical keyboard that sounds like a miniature jackhammer demolishing concrete at 3 AM. The cognitive dissonance is magnificent. The same person who files a warranty claim over a barely audible fan hum will spend $200 on a keyboard specifically engineered to wake the neighbors.

The eternal hardware naming convention hell strikes again! On the left, the desperate plea of every tech enthusiast who just wants to buy a damn monitor without needing a cryptography degree. On the right, hardware manufacturers (MSI, GIGABYTE, ASUS) proudly showcasing their latest creation: a jumble of random letters and numbers that probably took longer to name than design. Nothing says "we understand consumer psychology" like naming your product "XD-MBYG04K-URS3LF" — because who wouldn't remember that during their next Best Buy trip? Meanwhile, Computex just reinforced that hardware companies would rather eat glass than create memorable product names. At this point, I'm convinced they're just letting cats walk across keyboards for the naming process.

Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of Americans flaunting their Micro Center privileges! 😤 European developers and gamers are over here SUFFERING in a tech desert while Americans casually stroll into Micro Center for 80% OFF GAMING PCs?! The sheer INJUSTICE! Europeans are giving that death stare that says "I had to pay TRIPLE for my RTX card and wait 6 months for shipping." It's like watching someone eat a gourmet meal while you're forced to code on a potato. European devs are literally DYING of tech envy right now. The transatlantic hardware inequality is TOO MUCH TO BEAR! 💔
