Is It Still Safe To Use Windows 7?

Oh SWEET SILICON HEAVENS! The PC Master Race subreddit in its full, chaotic glory! 😭 You join expecting enlightened hardware discussions and instead get BOMBARDED with: First-time builders with $600 budgets demanding 4K gaming at 60fps (HONEY, THAT'S NOT HOW PHYSICS WORKS! 💸) RGB nightmares that look like unicorns had explosive diarrhea inside a glass case The eternal "My PC won't boot" posts next to $3000 worth of components Those INFURIATING "Is X better than Y" questions that could be answered with a 5-second Google search The Squidward progression is PERFECTION - from hopeful curiosity to soul-crushing disappointment. Just like my relationship with every Windows update ever! 🙃

Ah, the classic Windows 11 anime girl who judges your hardware specs and practically begs you to upgrade. She's that pushy OS personified - judging your "obsolete computer" while insisting she's too "advanced" for your pathetic machine. Fast forward to when you finally buy a new rig, and she's all excited... until you drop the Linux bomb. That look of utter betrayal when you choose the penguin over her proprietary nonsense? Priceless. After 20+ years in tech, nothing's more satisfying than watching Windows' market share slowly erode while it desperately adds more telemetry and rounded corners. Your PC, your choice - and sometimes that choice is freedom from nagware with an attitude problem.

Even Death can't kill Internet Explorer properly. The Grim Reaper shows up with his "It's time to go" speech, but IE just freezes with the classic "Internet Explorer is not responding" message. The ultimate irony - a browser so slow it can't even die on time. Microsoft's digital cockroach somehow outlived its usefulness by a decade yet still managed to be the default browser for corporate America until IT finally got permission to upgrade... to Edge.

The ancient GPU giving a thumbs up like "I'm not dead yet, suckers!" Nothing says tech necromancy like slathering fresh thermal paste on a graphics card old enough to vote. That GPU has survived four U.S. presidencies and still runs Garry's Mod without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, it's googling "lossless scaling" like an elderly person discovering TikTok for the first time. "What's this newfangled technology? Back in my day, we rendered at native resolution and LIKED IT!"
