When You Get Aliexpress CPU

1 day ago 68.0K views 0 shares

Ordered an Intel i9 for $29.99 with "free shipping" and got this masterpiece of engineering. That's not thermal paste under the plastic wrap—it's the tears of whoever tried to compile React on this thing. Comes with exclusive features like "runs at 0.01 GHz" and "melts when you open Chrome." The rubber bands are actually the most advanced component here—they're holding together both the CPU and your shattered dreams of running anything more complex than a calculator app.

Jesus Has Ryzen: The Divine CPU Upgrade

First we had "Jesus has risen" for Easter. Now we have "Jesus has RYZEN" because apparently the son of God upgraded to AMD processors. The divine computing power to run the universe's simulation requires nothing less than a high-end CPU. Bet heaven's render farm makes your gaming rig look like a pocket calculator. And you thought your server resurrection after a crash was impressive.

Never Ask Intel About Its Division Skills

THE AUDACITY! While we're all tiptoeing around women's ages and men's salaries, Intel is over here FLAUNTING its notorious floating-point division error like it's no big deal! 💀 For the uninitiated: The Pentium FDIV bug from 1994 made Intel processors calculate 4,195,835÷3,145,727 incorrectly. It was the tech world's most expensive mathematical walk of shame, costing Intel $475 million in replacements. The ultimate "tell me you're a vintage tech nerd without telling me you're a vintage tech nerd" punchline!

The Digital Enlightenment Experience

That face perfectly captures the religious experience of an SSD upgrade. Going from "Is my computer having a stroke?" to "Did it already finish booting?!" Nothing compares to that moment when your PC suddenly stops sounding like a blender full of rocks and launches programs in milliseconds instead of geological eras. It's like upgrading from a horse-drawn carriage to a teleportation device. Monitor upgrades are cute, but SSD is basically digital enlightenment.

The Great GPU Dilemma Of 2025

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF GPU WARS IN 2025! Nvidia's out here making us choose between selling a kidney for performance or switching tracks for affordability, while AMD's just like "Hey, remember us? We exist too!" But AMD's train is literally DERAILED off the tracks! The perfect metaphor for how Nvidia has completely dominated the AI hardware market while AMD struggles to even stay relevant. It's giving "I'm in this picture and I don't like it" energy for anyone who's been desperately waiting for AMD to save us from Nvidia's pricing tyranny. Spoiler alert: THE RESCUE AIN'T COMING!

Low Effort War: CPU Architecture Edition

The great CPU architecture debate, summarized with minimal effort. On the left, x86-64 represented by a mathematical graph. On the right, ARM represented by... an actual human arm. And there in the corner, RISC-V illustrated with what appears to be lines of cocaine. The perfect technical comparison doesn't exi—

Oh. My. GOD! Bitcoin mining explained in the most SAVAGE way possible! 😱 Imagine playing a cosmic lottery where you're trying to guess a number between 1 and 10 22 (that's a 1 with TWENTY-TWO zeros after it, sweetie). The odds are so astronomically ridiculous that your computer would literally burst into flames before guessing correctly! Yet here we are, with thousands of miners worldwide melting the polar ice caps with their electricity consumption just to play this mathematical slot machine from hell. And for what? The CHANCE to win 3.125 Bitcoin that they'll probably never sell because "it might go up more." The delusion is BREATHTAKING!

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.

Rendering: the art of turning your $3000 gaming PC into a space heater while you stare at a progress bar. Non-3D folks will never understand the sacred ritual of watching an hourglass while your GPU screams for mercy. "I'm not doing nothing, I'm actively waiting for technology to catch up with my artistic vision."

The Acronym That Dare Not Speak Its Name

BEHOLD! The world's most dramatic trademark dispute! AMD's ROCm software was once proudly "Radeon Open Compute platform" until the trademark police kicked down their door and said "YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US!" Now it's just... letters. Not an acronym. Just vibes. The ultimate corporate walk of shame where they had to [REDACT] their own name but keep using it anyway. It's like naming your child after your ex and then pretending the name doesn't actually mean anything when they ask. Pure tech industry DRAMA!

Is The Cure To Slow Bad Code Using Faster Hardware?

OMG, the AUDACITY of some developers! 💀 Instead of fixing their horrifically inefficient spaghetti code, they just throw more RAM and faster CPUs at the problem like that's going to save their algorithmic sins! Honey, your O(n²) monstrosity isn't going to magically become O(log n) just because you bought a shiny new processor. It's like putting a Ferrari engine in a shopping cart and expecting it to win Formula 1. The hardware might be faster, but your code is still a dumpster fire wrapped in a tragedy!

Your hacky code works because we convinced a fancy rock to do math. Let's not forget the crucial first steps though - we had to flatten said rock into a silicon wafer and zap it with electricity. Next time your janky regex actually matches what you want, thank the electrified pebble doing billions of calculations per second while having absolutely no idea what it's doing. It's like training a pet rock for the Olympics, except the rock doesn't even know it's competing.
