Workstation Memes

Developers will complain about a whisper-quiet cooling fan but then happily type on a mechanical keyboard that sounds like a miniature jackhammer demolishing concrete at 3 AM. The cognitive dissonance is magnificent. The same person who files a warranty claim over a barely audible fan hum will spend $200 on a keyboard specifically engineered to wake the neighbors.

When you're about to drop $415 on a Dell Workstation but then notice it's model 5070. That's not a PC, that's a glorified HTTP error code with a graphics card. Somewhere, a server admin just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why. At least it's not model 404 - then you'd never find it after ordering.

That awkward moment when the parking payment kiosk has better specs than your work computer. Someone clearly repurposed a gaming rig with RGB lighting to process your $5 parking fee. Meanwhile, developers everywhere are still waiting for IT to approve that 8GB RAM upgrade request from 2019. Bet this thing mines crypto in its spare time between printing receipts. Probably runs Crysis at 120fps while you're fumbling for quarters.
