Sunday should be a reminder to always record the unpacking of expensive items bought online. It only takes a few seconds to start recording on a phone, and it provides peace of mind with evidence if something goes wrong with the order.
One Reddit user shared a disturbing story of receiving a wrong item instead of an RTX 5080 GPU. We often joke about massive quad-slot graphics cards being the size of a brick,
Doom is probably the most ported game to strange devices. We all remember the original game running on a lawn mower , power supply , or even a pregnancy test, but things have now reached a new level with the first attempt on a vape.
