The internet was better when it was just the nerds on it

Some people have an aura around them that computers disrespect, its why we have repeat idiots that log faults and we send a tech down and get them to do it again and it works. In the presence of IT support they tend to behave

Modern computers struggle to do tasks they did even faster 45 years ago because modern people don't know how to do anything except use 3 trillion lines of code that were written by other people.

I am so overjoyed to see that the phenomenon of computer problems magically disappearing around my presense isnt exclusive to me.

I believe artists have an negative technology field around them that electronic hardware doesn't work for them the same way it does everyone else.

My work computer runs better because I listen to music and browse the Internet not just work work work. I keep it entertained, and in return it runs better than those of my fellow employees, I have far fewer problems.

ETA reading below, I do restart each day. Maybe that is all that is happening to keep it happy. How disappointing. Do people really not do that? On their WORK machines?

That I've got a special click when I specifically need something to work. It involves a lot of deliberation on the mouse, a small pause before starting to click, and a ~0.5s longer click time. That's my "okay carefully now..." Click.

Reserved for tasks like a bank transfer, an important form filling out, etc

Desktops are for gaming. Laptops are for browsing the Internet.

Does my laptop have a decent GPU? Sure does. Great for browsing the Internet.

Bonus:

Some tasks are phone tasks while bigger things are computer tasks. Think buying a movie ticket versus buying plane tickets.

Giving a piece of technology a name and then cursing at it using said name will make it function better...

I need more ram

Videogames taste better after midnight.

Clippy was cool

I have seen machines develop ghosts and I believe all electronic devices could develop said ghosts but only if built with quality components that have large tolerance between normal operation values (voltage, current, etc) and fail values. If not then they fully fail to function before they start operating outside of normal parameters.

With the rise of bio computing currently by using rat neurons which I think will collide with LLMs with their hallucinations to produce full on machine spirits within the next 20 years.

I say this has no foundation as the only "evidence" I have is my own anecdotes and the rest is merely a hypothesis.

In order to keep printers working properly they require regular blood sacrifices, tears are also acceptable. Most printers get these by accident as people clear paper jams, refill ink or toner cartridges, etc. Some printers clearly behave and perform better long term than others. More complexity (colors, 2 sided printing, large format, etc.) usually correlates to a larger thirst for blood/stress/anxiety. Remember Colin Robinson, the psychic vampire from "What We Do in the Shadows"? I'm pretty sure his spirit animal would be a color inkjet printer/scanner combo from late 90's.

GPUs are too expensive. Even used ones.

I don't even know what they cost or how to rank them.

I wish I could afford a 1080 Ti, or equivalent.
