With a group of networked computers in a home, one high-performance PC/server acts as the brain for a set of "dumb" computers. Low-performance devices appear to run high-end applications (ex: video games) because they send the user's input to the high-performance device (PC/Server) and display its audio-video response.
You don't need a second gaming PC for your TV. You can just buy a cheap, quiet PC and use In-Home Streaming.

Get the In-Home Streaming mug.When a streaming service i.e. Hulu or Netflix auto plays a Movie or TV show you would never agree to willingly watch--and then you realize Comcast is going to charge you for streaming something that never should have been a thing--EVER!
Non consensual Streaming is when after binging every episode of Homicide Hunter in existence, and several documentaries Netflix auto plays the family friendly kids movie Trolls...
You didn't like trolls as a kid, why?! Just...why? Netflix?
....
Are you drunk?

Get the non consensual streaming mug.The specific fatigue, anxiety, and decision-paralysis induced by the paradox of infinite choice on platforms like Netflix or Spotify. It's the exhaustion of scrolling through thousands of options only to rewatch The Office again, the guilt of an ever-growing "Watch Later" list that feels like homework, and the fragmented attention from algorithmically-jarring autoplay jumps. The trauma stems from the loss of intentional viewing, replaced by a passive, overwhelming flow where consumption feels both mandatory and deeply unsatisfying.
Example: "We planned a movie night and spent 90 minutes scrolling, arguing, and reading reviews. We finally gave up and went to bed. That's trauma from streaming. The platform's endless abundance didn't bring joy; it killed our ability to choose and made us feel guilty for not watching perfectly."

Get the screaming strayer mug.A mixture between a Screaming Eagle and a Houdini. Similar to a Screaming Eagle in that when I guy is rooting a girl doggie style and is about to cum he sticks his dick in her ass. When she turns her head to complain he pulls out and cums in her face, this is the Houdini part.
Jane never liked it when I Screaming Eagled her, she especially didn't like it when I Screaming Houdinied her. I told her "whats wrong with a bit of shit and cum in the eye?"

Get the Screaming Houdini mug.When you read/see a Shakespeare play (or any other old literature) and start to talk like the characters (i.e. vocabulary, mannerisms, rhythm, rhyme, iambic pentameter, etc.) on a regular basis.
