Installing Drivers 101

Death? Inconvenient. But letting your coworkers think you're available for a 4PM sync? Unforgivable. The modern corporate afterlife requires proper status management.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse: World of Warcraft, beige computer tower, Mountain Dew, and pepperoni pizza. Back when your biggest worry was whether your guild would show up for the raid, not whether your Docker container would deploy correctly. The "work from home" setup before it was mandatory – except you weren't working, you were grinding for epic gear while your parents yelled about the phone line being tied up.
