The Unpaid Intern's Farewell Gift

That moment of sheer existential terror when you download a sketchy game and the command prompt flashes on screen for a millisecond. Suddenly you're mentally calculating how many bitcoins you'll need to pay the ransomware that's inevitably encrypting your hard drive right now. Nothing says "I've made a terrible life choice" quite like watching that black window pop up and disappear faster than your career prospects.

Just trying to set up a new Windows machine when suddenly OneDrive appears with a knife, demanding your files like some cloud storage mafia enforcer. "Nice documents you got there. Would be a shame if they were... automatically synced." The eternal struggle between wanting local control and Microsoft's relentless cloud integration. Some of us just want to store files on our actual computers without paying cloud protection money.

Nothing says "legitimate email" like a password reset from r nicrosoft.com. Phishing scammers putting the "R" in "Really bad at impersonation" since forever. The yellow highlight is basically screaming "Hey look, I'm totally not suspicious at all!" Pro tip: if Microsoft can't spell their own domain name, they probably can't fix your password either.

The double standard in AI ethics is absolutely wild. Artists get the angry flower treatment when AI scrapes their artwork without permission, but suddenly everyone's a calm little daisy when GitHub Copilot yoinks thousands of lines of GPL-licensed code. The difference? Programmers aren't considered "real artists" despite crafting elegant algorithms that would make Picasso jealous. Next time someone says "it's just code," remind them their entire digital life runs on that "just code" someone wrote. The irony is we'll probably use AI to generate the angry tweets about AI stealing our code.

The perfect double entendre doesn't exi-- Turns out HTTPS isn't just for websites anymore! That moment when your romantic partner asks if you have "protection" and you smugly whip out your SSL certificate. Because nothing says "I care about security" like encrypting your, uh, data transfers. The secure connection joke hits different when you've spent 12 hours debugging certificate issues. At least someone's getting a proper handshake tonight!

That moment when you swap your NVMe drive into a new PC and Windows freaks out about BitLocker encryption you didn't even know was enabled. Suddenly your precious data is held hostage behind a recovery key you never saved because "it'll be fine" was your security strategy. Nothing like that sinking feeling when your 200GB of "homework" folders and side projects from the last five years are locked behind Microsoft's digital fortress of doom.
