Why Are You Not Shutting Down?!

The Grim Reaper has already claimed Windows 7 and Windows 8, leaving bloody trails behind as it knocks on Windows 10's door. Microsoft's operating system lifecycle in one perfect image! The company's habit of killing off perfectly functional OS versions to force upgrades is like watching Death work through its corporate roadmap. Windows 7 users fought valiantly but ultimately succumbed, Windows 8 barely had time to be hated properly, and now Windows 10 users are nervously eyeing Windows 11 while Death comes knocking. The circle of software life continues—except it's less "circle" and more "forced march toward obsolescence."

That's the Portal cake logo with "The MSRP is a lie" repeated like a dystopian mantra. Graphics card prices haven't been this fictional since cryptocurrency miners were building rigs in their mothers' basements.

Nothing says "modern computing" like needing a second mortgage for a GPU that'll be obsolete before you finish paying it off.

VLC is the Chuck Norris of media players. While other applications have the audacity to say "unsupported file format," VLC just shrugs and says "hold my codec." The meme perfectly captures that feeling when you're trying to play some obscure file you downloaded from a sketchy Russian forum in 2007, and VLC somehow manages to play it at 200% volume despite having no logical reason to succeed. It's like asking a calculator to make you coffee - shouldn't work, but VLC finds a way.

Back in the day, people treated USB drives like biohazard material. You'd get a flash drive from a friend and immediately wrap it in a condom before plugging it in, because who knows what kind of digital STDs it picked up from their sketchy downloads folder. Honestly, not the worst security practice. Physical protection for physical media—there's a certain logic to it. At least they were thinking about protection, which is more than most users clicking "Yes" on every UAC prompt can say. The real question is whether they went with ribbed for her pleasure or extra thin for faster data transfer speeds.
