We've all been there. You're 14, discovered right-click on the desktop, and suddenly you're a tech wizard in front of your non-tech friends. Refreshing the desktop like you're performing some arcane ritual that mere mortals couldn't comprehend. "Yeah, I'm basically a hacker," you think, as your friends watch in awe while you demonstrate the mystical powers of... F5. The confidence was unmatched. You probably also showed them how to open Task Manager and acted like you were defusing a bomb. Those were simpler times when knowing keyboard shortcuts made you the neighborhood tech support.

Every Time After Right-Clicking On A Local File
Your computer is basically a supercomputer by 1990s standards - 32 cores, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVMe drive that could store the entire Library of Congress. Yet somehow Windows Explorer still takes 5 seconds to show you a right-click menu on a text file. The machine that could theoretically simulate nuclear explosions is brought to its knees by a context menu. The ultimate reminder that no matter how far technology advances, software will always find a way to waste every last resource you throw at it.

Stop People Stealing Website Images: The Escalating Madness
The evolution of image protection from amateur hour to galaxy brain: First stage: "Let's disable right-click!" - the digital equivalent of putting a 'Do Not Touch' sign on a cookie jar. Cute. Second stage: "I'll detect dev tools!" Because surely no one would ever use a second device to take a photo of their screen. Revolutionary thinking there. Third stage: The convoluted PNG-video-DRM-EME pipeline. Six meetings, three sprints, and a product manager's career highlight to implement. Final stage: The ultimate overkill - capturing user clicks to dynamically regenerate encrypted frames. Because nothing says "reasonable solution" like burning a server farm to protect your stock photos. Meanwhile, users just press Print Screen and move on with their lives.
