Well, I Guess I Have My Kids House Deposit Sorted!

Well, I Guess I Have My Kids House Deposit Sorted!
Someone's hoarding a box full of old RAM sticks like they're vintage Pokémon cards, convinced they're sitting on a goldmine. Spoiler alert: DDR2 and DDR3 RAM from 2008 isn't exactly fetching Bitcoin prices on eBay. That Samsung 4GB stick? Worth about as much as a fancy coffee. Maybe two if you find someone desperate. The delusion is real though. We've all been there—keeping obsolete hardware because "it might be worth something someday" or "I could use it for a project." Narrator: They never did. Meanwhile, you're one drawer away from becoming a tech hoarder with a garage full of IDE cables and VGA adapters. Fun fact: The entire box is probably worth less than a single modern 32GB DDR5 stick. But hey, at least you can build a really inefficient space heater by running all those sticks simultaneously in some Frankenstein build.

Linux, Together, Strong!

Linux, Together, Strong!
The ultimate Linux desktop environment civil war, but make it wholesome! Nothing says "I'm a true open source hero" like using one desktop environment while financially supporting its arch-nemesis. It's like being a vim user who donates to the Emacs foundation—pure chaotic good energy. The Superman imagery is perfect because let's be honest, anyone running Linux in 2024 already thinks they're saving the world from the evil corporate empires. Meanwhile, Windows users are just trying to print a document without their computer deciding it's the perfect time for a 2-hour update. Fun fact: If all the energy spent arguing about GNOME vs KDE had been directed at actual development, we'd have had the year of the Linux desktop back in 2003.

A Senior Sys Admin Selects A Monitor That's Ripe

A Senior Sys Admin Selects A Monitor That's Ripe
Ever wondered where ancient CRT monitors go to die? Apparently, they form mountains for sys admins to climb! This poor soul is navigating the graveyard of 90s technology like he's shopping for avocados at Whole Foods. "Hmm, this one's still too hard, this one's too soft... ah, this beige beauty feels just right!" Meanwhile, his company probably upgraded to flat screens in 2005, but he's still hoarding these relics because "you never know when you'll need a 30-pound monitor that can double as a space heater." The ultimate tech hoarder's paradise—where e-waste management policies go to cry.

The Golden Mouse Temptation

The Golden Mouse Temptation
The AUDACITY of the universe to dangle my exact mouse model in front of me at 44¢! After I made a BLOOD OATH against Logitech for their unrepairable gadgets! It's like the golden idol from Indiana Jones, but instead of triggering booby traps, it'll trigger my wallet to open despite my dramatic vows of hardware celibacy. The self-control required here is SUPERHUMAN. That shiny mouse is whispering sweet nothings like "I'm practically free" while my trauma screams "BUT FOR HOW LONG BEFORE I BREAK?!"
