hardware store

The most extreme instance of toolishness. This person cannot be anymore of a loser - they are being extremely used by other people or society without even knowing it.

John: Ashley used to like white wine but switched to red because she saw cool people drinking it.
Joe: What a hardware store! Ashley is such a Home Depot you could fix your house just by talking to her.

Real hardware snob

Arrogant, spoiled (mostly upper middle class) retro gamers (aka HOARDERS) who think that everyone in the world has enough physical space to have a bunch of gaming consoles and 8 and 16 bit microcomputers in their house. These people are completely opposed to emulation (save for MAME), yet they are too dumb and arrogant to realize that not everyone can AFFORD (nor have enough room in their homes) to own a bunch of real hardware. Especially with the way the prices are today for actual physical hardware.

Jim: I'm going to download that new ZX Spectrum game and play it on my PC
Tim: Emulation...bah...I own like 12 Spectrums
Jim: Yeah, you're a spoiled rich douche, and can afford it. You are such a real hardware snob.

safely remove hardware

The greatest joke in the history of Windows computers.

User: Copying files onto my USB flash drive...Ok I'm done. Taking out the flash drive now.
Windows: Please click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray and select the device you want to unplug or eject, and then click Stop. When Windows notifies you that it is safe to do—
User: -yanks out flash drive- fuck you!
