The Great Kilobyte Conspiracy

The hardware market is having a full-blown identity crisis right now! GPUs finally dropping in price after the crypto mining apocalypse, CPUs maintaining their dignified price stability, but RAM and SSDs? They've chosen violence. The RAM sticks are basically saying "You thought you were building a budget PC? That's cute." Meanwhile your SSD is like "I store your precious data, pay up or else." It's the PC building equivalent of getting a discount on the car but finding out the steering wheel costs extra.

The unbeatable tag team of productivity destruction. Left screen for "work" discussions, right screen for "urgent debugging sessions" that mysteriously involve watching someone speedrun Minecraft. Your commit history and Discord status tell two very different stories about your day. Productivity graph looks like a cliff dive right after lunch.

When you're working on a serious project and decide that three monitors just isn't enough screen real estate. Left monitor: the serious work version. Middle monitor: the "let me zoom in and pretend I'm being productive" version. Right monitor: when your code finally compiles and you've lost your damn mind. The progression from intimidating dragon to derpy dragon with googly eyes and its tongue out is basically the journey every developer goes through during a coding session. You start off fierce and focused, then by hour 6 you're just happy to be alive and your brain has turned to mush. Also, respect for actually using all that screen space instead of just having Stack Overflow tabs open on two of them like the rest of us.

The innovation we've been waiting for since 1981! Someone took a PC, made it smaller, and called it PC 2. Revolutionary stuff. Next they'll tell us it runs Windows 11 without crashing for a whole day. The tech industry's idea of a sequel is just making the same thing but in cube form. Square design, brave choice - because corners were the main problem with computing all along.

Oh. My. GOD. Someone has constructed the most MAGNIFICENT throne in existence using nothing but discarded keyboards! 👑 This is what happens when you hoard every single keyboard since 1997 instead of throwing them away "just in case." The Iron Throne? PLEASE. The Keyboard Throne reigns supreme in the Seven Kingdoms of Cubicle Land, where the one who sits upon it commands absolute power over the Git repository. Whoever occupies this monstrosity clearly has the authority to reject ALL pull requests without explanation. Bow down, peasants!

The marketing department's favorite word strikes again! Slap "GAMING" on a motherboard, router, or case and suddenly it costs 50% more for some RGB lights and aggressive angles. But when it comes to monitors? That 1ms response time and 144Hz refresh rate actually delivers something useful beyond the aesthetic. It's the only "GAMING" product where the premium might actually be worth it... unless you enjoy paying extra for a router with more antennas than your neighbor.
