This image is a screenshot of a Twitter conversation between two users joking about 1990s IT security. The first user Patrick shares a photo of a locked storage box for vintage 5.25-inch floppy disks, with the lock circled in orange, and jokes that this was IT security back in the 90s. A second user Chuck replies that while the physical lock may look silly now, the data stored on those floppies cannot be hacked remotely from halfway across the world, pointing out the unarguable benefit of physical air-gapped security compared to modern connected systems. The original Reddit post this was shared from also notes that the box can be misidentified as a Super Nintendo console at first glance.

This is a 3-panel meme that uses the iconic Donnie Darko therapy conversation template to joke about trends in modern video game graphics development. In the first panel, Jake Gyllenhaal's character Donnie states 'I made a breakthrough in graphics rendering'. In the second panel, his therapist asks the skeptical question 'A breakthrough or just better lighting?'. In the final panel, Donnie confirms the punchline 'Just better lighting', paired with a screenshot of the graphically impressive open world game Horizon Zero Dawn, which relies heavily on advanced dynamic lighting for its visual quality. The meme pokes fun at the fact that most so-called 'graphical breakthroughs' in video games over the past decade have been mostly improvements to lighting technology, rather than fundamental jumps in other rendering or texture technology.

This meme features an orange tabby cat lying on a concrete floor under a chair. Sunlight filtered through blinds creates six bright rectangular yellow bars across the cat's back, which exactly resembles a fully charged battery icon from a digital device. The text at the top reads 'He's fully charged', making a cute joke that the cat has fully recharged its energy by soaking up sunlight, just like an electronic device.

This is a side-by-side comparison meme that jokes about NVIDIA's DLSS 5 AI upscaling technology. The left panel shows the original lower-resolution photograph of climate activist Greta Thunberg being escorted by police during a protest, labeled 'DLSS 5 OFF'. The right panel is an absurdly altered AI-edited version labeled 'DLSS 5 ON' that completely changes Greta's appearance, turning her into a masculine-looking person with exaggerated features. The joke mocks how new AI upscaling can drastically alter original image content instead of just improving resolution, while also poking fun at NVIDIA's reputation for extremely high pricing on new graphics cards.
