Audio Issues Man, Audio Issues...
The fantasy: "I'll switch to Linux and become a productivity god!" The reality: spending 6 hours troubleshooting why your audio randomly cuts out, why Bluetooth refuses to pair, and why your headphones work in one app but not another. PulseAudio? PipeWire? ALSA? Who knows! You just wanted to listen to Spotify while coding, but now you're knee-deep in Stack Overflow threads from 2014 and editing config files you don't understand. Meanwhile, your Windows-using coworker just... plugged in their headphones and it worked. The pain is real.

Let Me Plug Bluetooth Into My GPU
Someone really looked at a Bluetooth antenna and thought "Yeah, this totally belongs in my GPU slot." The sheer audacity of advertising that your wireless dongle supports EVERY version of Windows from 7 to 11 while casually occupying prime real estate meant for graphics cards is absolutely sending me. Like bestie, I don't care if it supports Windows 95 through Windows 3000, you're blocking my RTX 4090 for... Bluetooth? The same technology my $10 mouse uses? The disrespect to that PCIe slot is ASTRONOMICAL. This is like renting a penthouse apartment just to store your socks.

Connecting The Past: When Ancient Runes Meet Modern Protocols
The ultimate tech origin story carved in stone! That runestone honors King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, whose nickname inspired the wireless technology we all know and hate when it randomly disconnects during important calls. Fun fact: The Bluetooth symbol () is actually a combination of Harald's initials in Nordic runes (ᚼ and ᛒ). Ericsson putting this at their entrance is like the ancient equivalent of a company flexing their heritage in the most literal way possible. Next up: A stone tablet commemorating the inventor of Wi-Fi, conveniently placed where the signal doesn't reach.
