I Just Invented Something Every Dev Needs

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of these system shutdowns! Your laptop and that poor confused emoji are BEGGING to stay alive, but that dictatorial Overwolf app is like "NOPE, not today sweetie!" 💅 Meanwhile, your precious unsaved code is hanging by a thread! That one rebellious gaming overlay that decides YOUR WORK isn't as important as ITS update. The digital equivalent of someone unplugging your life support to charge their phone! And the worst part? NO ONE ASKED THE TERMINAL! That poor, neglected command line never gets a say in anything! TRAGIC!

The double whammy of tech obsolescence. First panel: Microsoft announcing Windows 10 EOL (End of Life) in October? Meh, whatever. Second panel: Steam potentially killing game compatibility on Windows 10 just like they did with Windows 7? Now you have my attention! It's the classic tech cycle - not the official EOL that forces upgrades, but when your games stop working. Twenty years in the industry and the only constant is companies finding new ways to make your perfectly functional setup obsolete. Death, taxes, and forced OS upgrades - the holy trinity of inevitable pain.

Ah yes, the classic "596523 hours 14 minutes" power mode option. That's approximately 68 years of screen time before your device goes to sleep. Perfect for those who want their great-grandchildren to see that half-finished code they were working on. Still more reasonable than some Windows update timeframes.

The eternal struggle of every developer who's also a PC enthusiast. There you are, whiteboard marker in hand, desperately explaining frame rates, upgrade paths, Steam sales, and how "but can it run Crysis?" is still somehow relevant in 2023. Meanwhile, your friends stare blankly, wondering why you're having a religious experience over hardware specs when they just want to play FIFA. Two hours later, you're drawing memory architecture diagrams while they've mentally checked out to plan their PS5 purchase. The kicker? They'll text you next week asking for PC build advice anyway.

The bell curve of software installation intelligence! On the left side, we have the blissfully ignorant user with an IQ of 55 who just clicks "Express Installation" without a care in the world. In the middle at IQ 100, we have the sweating, paranoid user meticulously reading every custom installation option like they're defusing a bomb. Then on the right side, we have the enlightened 145 IQ user who confidently chooses "Express Installation" because they know that fighting the inevitable bloatware is futile and they can just uninstall it later anyway. The true galaxy brain move is accepting that resistance against PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) is ultimately pointless.
