🖥️ Establishing Digital Dominance 101

  1. The Intimidation Method: Hover your finger menacingly over the power button while muttering "Don't make me do this..." Works 60% of the time, every time.
  2. Reverse Psychology: Tell your computer you don't even NEED that file to save. Suddenly it saves perfectly. Computer psychology is real.
  3. The Ritual:
    • Turn it off and on again (the ancient wisdom)
    • Blow on the USB port like it's a Nintendo cartridge
    • Pat the monitor gently while whispering "good computer"
    • Sacrifice a USB cable to the cable drawer gods
  4. Threat Level Midnight: Open Task Manager aggressively. Let those processes know you're watching. They'll behave.
  5. The Bargaining Phase: "If you just work this ONE time, I promise I'll clean your fans and delete those 47 browser tabs"
  6. Nuclear Option: Loudly announce you're switching to Mac/Linux/Typewriter. Watch Windows suddenly cooperate.

⚠️ Warning: Computers can smell fear. Never let them know you have a deadline. They feed on panic and flourish in chaos. Also, they definitely talk to printers about you behind your back.

* Results not guaranteed. Side effects may include: talking to inanimate objects, developing superstitious IT rituals, and believing your computer has feelings. The WiFIR Blaster™ cannot help with computer attitude problems.
