The Undead GPU Chronicles

OMG, the AUDACITY of tech bros thinking stock market fairy dust pays for ACTUAL HARDWARE! 💀 OpenAI is over here like "we'll just announce our partnership and POOF! $78 BILLION appears out of thin air to pay for your chips!" Meanwhile, AMD's sitting there wondering if these AI geniuses understand that GPUs require REAL MONEY, not vibes and press releases. The absolute financial gymnastics happening here would make Wall Street blush! "Just give us back stock that we'll magically inflate with our announcement!" HONEY, THAT'S NOT HOW COMMERCE WORKS! The dot-com bubble called from 1999 and wants its delusional business model back!

The classic "have you tried turning it off and on again" tech support trick dates back to the Jurassic period of computing! When a developer loses their cursor in 1983, they immediately resort to the oldest trick in the book—faking a hardware problem and suggesting a reboot. The best part? It actually works, and the comic perfectly captures that smug satisfaction when your BS technical explanation saves the day. Some programmer traditions never die, they just get faster processors.

That moment when you enable Secure Boot and your fancy RGB gaming PC refuses to boot up. The top panel shows Tom and Jerry eagerly pressing the power button, full of hope and excitement. The bottom panel? Pure panic as they realize they've just bricked their system. Secure Boot is like that friend who promises to protect you but then locks you out of your own house. Pro tip: always have a backup plan before messing with UEFI settings, unless you enjoy the thrilling adventure of rescue USBs and BIOS resets!

That awkward moment when a user proudly announces they've rebooted twice, while your system monitor shows their uptime is 365 days, 12 hours, 38 minutes, and 59 seconds . The face says it all—the silent judgment of an IT professional who knows you're either lying or don't understand what "reboot" means. The computer hasn't been turned off since Biden was still forming complete sentences. At this point, that machine deserves a retirement party more than a reboot.

Console gamers sobbing because they can't play a 20-year-old title without paying for yet another remaster, while PC gamers casually run ancient games on cutting-edge hardware like it's no big deal. The true irony? Console makers talk about "ecosystem" while Steam is over here actually preserving gaming history. Your $3000 graphics card running Morrowind at 400 FPS with mods is peak gaming culture.

When your PC is so dusty it qualifies as an archaeological dig site, but you're still like "yeah, perfect candidate for Linux." Nothing says "I believe in resurrection" quite like installing a penguin-powered OS on hardware that looks like it survived the Dust Bowl. The irony is that Linux will probably run better on this fossil than Windows would on a brand new machine. That's not dirt—it's just extra thermal insulation!
