I Believe In 90s-2000s Internet And Technology Supremacy

The classic "IT person as unappreciated hero" syndrome strikes again! When you've spent years battling printers that randomly decide to speak in tongues, servers that choose 3 PM on Friday to have existential crises, and users who think "have you tried turning it off and on again" is revolutionary advice... you start to feel like a grizzled detective in a tech noir film. The badge and gun? Those were earned in the trenches of weekend deployments and emergency patches. The real question is why management always looks surprised when IT folks display the thousand-yard stare of someone who's seen too many "unexpected error" messages.

When you just want to execute a simple program but Windows insists you dress professionally and get management approval first. Nothing says "security theater" quite like changing your entire outfit just to click "Yes" on a UAC prompt. The formal business attire requirement is clearly mentioned in section 37.4 of the EULA that nobody reads.

The existential crisis of gaming hardware in one perfect meme! Valve's Steam Machine was that awkward teenager who couldn't decide what it wanted to be when it grew up. It had the power of a PC with the form factor of a console, leaving gamers scratching their heads like they just found a SQL query in a JavaScript file. The beauty of "use it as a pc, console, whatever you like" perfectly captures the product's identity crisis. It's like telling a developer they can use spaces OR tabs - a freedom nobody actually wanted. No wonder Steam Machines vanished faster than documentation in a rushed project.

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.

Windows Defender standing there with arms wide open, completely ignoring the barrage of threats raining down on poor Android Studio. Classic Microsoft security theater at its finest. That's why we all end up installing third-party antivirus software despite Windows swearing its Defender is all we need. Meanwhile, Android Studio just lies there, exhausted from consuming 32GB of RAM and still asking for more.

Microsoft Excel is preprogrammed to make it easier to enter dates. For example, 122 changes to 2-Dec. This is very frustrating when you enter something that you don't want changed to a date. Unfortunately there is no way to turn this off. But there are ways to get around it. Preformat the cells vou want to enter numbers into as Text. This way Excel will not try to change what you enter into dates. If you only have a few numbers to enter, you can stop Excel from changing them into dates by entering:
