The Great GPU Price Mirage

The ultimate "don't touch my stuff" starter pack for Linux elitists! Split keyboards, weird ergonomic mice, and the Arch Linux logo - because nothing says "I'm better than you" quite like a setup that requires a PhD to understand. Arch users have mastered the art of making their computers so intimidating that no one dares ask to check their email on it. Smart move - saves them from having to explain why they spent 3 days configuring a desktop that still occasionally crashes when they try to print something.

That rusted, half-dead computer case is apparently all you need to run Linux. While Windows demands 16GB RAM and a quantum processor just to open a text file, Linux will happily boot on whatever archaeological artifact you've dug up from behind the shed. I've seen production servers running on hardware that belongs in the Smithsonian. That box probably outperforms half the cloud instances people are paying $50/month for. Just slap some Debian on it, SSH in from another continent, and watch it run for 7 years without rebooting.

Ah, the ultrawide monitor—the only technology capable of displaying a Java class name without horizontal scrolling. Because nothing says "I'm an efficient programmer" like needing NASA-grade screen real estate just to read AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean without eye strain. Java developers don't need coffee to stay awake—they just read their own class names out loud and the existential crisis keeps them alert for days. That monitor isn't a luxury, it's survival equipment .

The circle of tech life continues. Nintendo's 3DS died in 2024, only for Samsung to resurrect the glasses-free 3D concept a year later with their fancy Odyssey monitor. Ten years of developers avoiding 3D like the plague, and now we're supposed to believe it's revolutionary again? Watch us waste another decade optimizing for a feature nobody asked for while our actual code still runs on duct tape and prayers.

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! 💀

Behold, Apple's solution to a problem that precisely zero developers asked for: a keyboard that's also a touchpad! Because apparently, the 47 different ways we already have to control our cursor weren't enough. This is peak Apple – taking something that works perfectly fine (keyboards) and adding a feature nobody requested that will inevitably cause you to accidentally move your cursor while typing a critical line of code during a live demo. The real "Next-Level Dev Setup" isn't turning your keyboard into a touchpad—it's having a keyboard that doesn't randomly decide your finger brushing key 7 means "please delete my entire git repository."
