The Tech Support Survival Guide

Oh, the TRAUMA of modern OS interfaces! Look at that gorgeous Windows 7 start menu in all its organized, logical glory - before Microsoft decided we all needed to suffer through tiles, hidden menus, and updates that reorganize your entire digital existence without permission! Remember when you could actually FIND things without having to perform a sacred ritual and sacrifice your firstborn to Cortana? When settings weren't buried seventeen layers deep in a UI designed by someone who clearly hates humanity? Those transparent Aero effects were the PEAK of human achievement, and I will die on this hill! Modern Windows is just a dystopian hellscape where every feature you love disappears with each update. THE HORROR!

The evolution of Windows is perfectly represented by these increasingly ridiculous hammers. Started with a primitive rock in 3.1, gradually morphed into something resembling an actual tool by XP, then completely lost the plot with each new version. By Windows 10, Microsoft apparently decided what users really needed was a bizarre multi-headed monstrosity that looks like it escaped from a hardware store fever dream. And Windows 11? That's just Windows 10's hammer after it discovered anime and cyberpunk aesthetics. The irony is that despite all this "innovation," most of us still just need to pound in a nail. But hey, at least that Windows 11 hammer can probably run Crysis while it's breaking your thumb.

Dial-up internet connection dialogs were the loading screens of the ancient times. You'd literally have to input a phone number, hear the modem screech like a dying robot, and pray nobody picked up the landline while you were downloading a 2MB file. The best part? That "Save password for anyone who uses this computer" option was basically the original zero-trust security model... except backwards. Nothing says "cybersecurity" like storing ISP credentials in plaintext for the entire household to accidentally nuke your connection mid-download. If you remember this screen, you also remember the existential dread of someone yelling "I NEED TO USE THE PHONE" while you were 95% done downloading a Winamp skin.

When your doctor asks about mental illness in the family and you have to confess your brother uses Visual Studio as a text editor. The true insanity isn't just using a 10GB IDE to edit a 2KB file—it's waiting through that startup time when Notepad was right there . Launching Visual Studio to edit a simple text file is like bringing a nuclear submarine to a fishing pond. Your RAM isn't crying, it's writing a suicide note.
