Independence Day For Internet Explorer

Samsung Smart Hub commercial: "Connect your whole life!" IT Guy: laughs in mechanical locks Samsung: "But your home could be smarter!" IT Guy: "My printer from 2004 is smart enough to fear me, and that's all the intelligence my appliances need."

Ah, the three horsemen of the apocalypse: Death, War, and Windows 11. The perfect trilogy of things humanity would rather live without. Microsoft really achieved something special here - creating an OS so frustrating it ranks alongside existential threats to civilization. Forced updates, incompatible hardware requirements, and that centered taskbar that nobody asked for... truly the stuff of nightmares. The real horror is how Windows 10 was "somewhat useable" by comparison. That's like saying paper cuts are "somewhat preferable" to amputation.

The perfect collision of Linus Torvalds' penguin army and his notorious Microsoft roasting. That collection of Linux mascot plushies isn't just decoration—it's his war council for plotting world domination through open source. Meanwhile, he's dropping quotes that burn Windows harder than a CPU without thermal paste. The man created an OS kernel that powers most of the internet and still has time to collect stuffed penguins and throw shade. Priorities: absolutely correct.

The circle of programming life is brutal. First panel: a fresh-faced beginner in 2025 desperately seeking validation—"Hey does anyone need me?"—while everyone's just like "NAH" and "NO." Fast forward to panel three where suddenly someone needs them... but plot twist! It's to maintain a Microsoft Access database. That final panel with the lightning and demonic glow says everything about inheriting legacy tech. Nothing crushes the soul quite like realizing your shiny CS degree prepared you for... MS Access. The career trajectory we all fear but somehow keep encountering.

Five of these panels show the typical innovation S-curve where technology evolves from primitive (MS-DOS, Internet Explorer) to peak performance (Windows 95, Chrome). Then there's music... where we apparently peaked at Napster and it's been downhill ever since. The real innovation was clearly the ability to download entire discographies without paying a cent. Progress isn't always what corporate overlords want you to believe it is.
