Twice As Efficient

Looks like Microsoft found a way to make the Grim Reaper redundant! First, they proudly announce that 30% of their code is now AI-generated, then their Windows 11 update decides SSDs should retire early. Nothing says "cutting-edge technology" quite like cutting the lifespan of your storage devices. Perhaps the AI misunderstood "planned obsolescence" as a feature, not a bug? Next update might just include a digital coffin for your entire system. At least now we know what KB stands for in those update codes - "Killing Bytes."

Ah, the classic tech enthusiast's dilemma. Dropping four grand on Apple's spatial computing headset and now you're just a sad guy in goggles trying to convince yourself (and your ex-wife) that virtual spreadsheets in your living room were worth the price of a decent used car. The divorce papers probably just read "Creative differences - specifically his belief that 'it's an investment in the future.'" The rest of us are just waiting for version 3 when it actually becomes useful and costs half as much.

The Grim Reaper of PC building has arrived, and it's wearing an RTX 5090 as a crown. This masterpiece of dark humor captures that special moment when your $2000 GPU transforms into a paperweight because you connected the power cables wrong. Nothing says "I'm financially ruined" quite like the smell of burnt silicon at 3 AM. The skeleton isn't just coming for your components—it's coming for your wallet too. Remember kids: always triple-check your PSU connections, or you'll be eating ramen for the next six months while explaining to your partner why that "investment" is now decorative.

NVIDIA's pricing strategy has become so predatory that developers and gamers alike are genuinely considering selling organs on the black market. The joke here is that GPU prices have gotten so astronomical that you've already sold one kidney for your last card, and now NVIDIA's back for round two. The poor soul on the ground is begging for mercy because they literally have no more kidneys to give, but NVIDIA—depicted as an intimidating figure—doesn't care about your financial or biological limitations. They've got new silicon to sell, and your remaining organs are looking mighty profitable. Fun fact: The RTX 4090 launched at $1,599, which is roughly the street value of... well, let's just say NVIDIA's marketing team knows their target demographic's net worth down to the organ.

The classic Nintendo GameCube died in 2006, but its "reincarnation" in 2026 is just... a literal black cube. Minimalism gone too far? This is what happens when product designers take "return to your roots" too literally. Twenty years of innovation and we've circled back to "box that plays games" but without any of the personality. Next they'll remove the controller and call it "intuitive gesture control" while charging you double.

Ah, the eternal hardware price rollercoaster. Finally, after surviving the crypto mining apocalypse and scalper hellscape, GPU prices return to sanity and you're ready to upgrade. Your wallet is out, credit card warmed up... then BAM! RAM prices decide to pull a "hold my beer" moment and skyrocket 50%. It's like the universe has a dedicated department making sure tech enthusiasts can never be completely happy. The hardware gods giveth, and the hardware gods immediately taketh away.
