Hardware-enthusiast Memes

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts buying their "first" Pi is like a gateway drug. You tell yourself it's just one board for that cool project you've been thinking about. Fast forward six months and you've got a drawer full of Pi Zeros, Pi 4s, and a few Pi 3s you forgot existed. Meanwhile, PC builders? They've been in the hardware addiction cycle since the 90s. "Just gonna upgrade my GPU" turns into a new motherboard, RAM, CPU cooler, RGB fans, and somehow a second monitor. The veteran PC builder looks at the Raspberry Pi newbie with that weathered expression that says "welcome to the never-ending upgrade spiral, kid." Both groups share the same curse: convincing yourself you need another one for a project that'll definitely happen this time. Spoiler: it won't.
