A 4chan greentext describes an old computer becoming slow and malfunctioning just as its owner is about to replace it. The narrator jokingly treats the computer as a jealous, emotional companion and feels guilty because they have shared intimate moments. It is used as a reaction to anthropomorphize unreliable technology or feel sentimental about an old device.
