You know a computer thing from the 90s I really don't miss is how a bunch of people called the entire computer part of the computer the "CPU" for some reason? Never got how that happened

It’s weird how that still persists when it comes to things like “CPU holders”, as in the thing that lets you attach a tower to the underside of a desk. I was baffled to see that term still used when I bought one years ago lmao
Oh wow, I've never heard that term. That's wild. Like seeing a dinosaur in the wild!
I can't figure out how 'wallpaper' came to be called 'screen saver'. Across generations and sometimes even savvy. Screen savers basically don't even exist anymore and I still hear this said.
