When You Don't Let Your 30 Year Old ThinkPad Die

When You Don't Let Your 30 Year Old ThinkPad Die
The ancient ThinkPad begging for sweet release while its obsessive owner keeps upgrading it with new SSDs and RAM modules for the 47th time. That battered keyboard has typed enough lines of Perl to deserve retirement, but no—you've installed Linux on it again and keep bragging about how "they don't make them like this anymore." Meanwhile, the poor machine's fan sounds like a jet engine and the battery lasts exactly 12 minutes, but you're still convinced it's superior to any modern ultrabook. The relationship is basically tech Stockholm syndrome at this point.

The Developer Throne

The Developer Throne
Oh. My. GOD. Someone has constructed the most MAGNIFICENT throne in existence using nothing but discarded keyboards! 👑 This is what happens when you hoard every single keyboard since 1997 instead of throwing them away "just in case." The Iron Throne? PLEASE. The Keyboard Throne reigns supreme in the Seven Kingdoms of Cubicle Land, where the one who sits upon it commands absolute power over the Git repository. Whoever occupies this monstrosity clearly has the authority to reject ALL pull requests without explanation. Bow down, peasants!

The universal law of tech hoarding strikes again! This is basically Murphy's Law for nerds - the moment you toss that ancient VGA cable you've been storing since the Clinton administration is precisely when some legacy system demands it. Every developer has that drawer of technological shame - USB-A cables, random adapters, and at least three different types of power bricks that don't match anything you currently own. But throw something away? That's just begging the universe to make you need it. This is why my closet still has a parallel port cable from 1998. Not because I'll use it, but because I'm not falling for this cosmic trap. Nice try, universe.
