Longevity Memes

Seven years of hardware evolution, three operating systems, and that Corsair AX 760 power supply just refuses to die. It's watched your GPU upgrade from a GTX 760 to a 3090 to a hypothetical 9070 XT. Witnessed the rise of Ryzen from Intel's shadow. Endured RAM doubling from 8GB to 32GB. Meanwhile, your motherboard keeps getting fancier hats. That PSU is the IT equivalent of the guy who's been at the company for 25 years and still uses the same coffee mug while everyone around him gets replaced with younger models.

The great display technology divide! OLED screens burn out faster than my enthusiasm for daily standups. Meanwhile, those ancient LCD panels just keep trucking along like that one legacy codebase nobody wants to touch but somehow never breaks. Sure, your blacks aren't "true black" but at least your screen doesn't look like a haunted house with ghost images of all your favorite apps permanently etched into it. The real flex in tech isn't having the latest gear—it's having gear that actually still works.
