Potato Syndrome 

A psychological symptom that is most common among Gamers, particularly those who have recently owned a high-end gaming device after an extensive period of time using low-end ones, which are commonly referred to as Potato PCs or laptops. Although their new devices can run high graphics, gamers with Potato Syndrome would experience anxiety and worry that high settings might over-stress their devices and would turn the graphics down.
-Man I just bought a 4090 but I just worry I would destroy it with all those settings.
-Oh you have severe potato syndrome from your mom's laptop, just turn those graphics on don't worry.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
