We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.

It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.

I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.

We would do this to our teachers in school.

Oh jeez that brings back memories.... Or finding somebody you don't like and pop off an expansion bay cover and stuff some garbage in there. Just keep doing that to their computer whenever you get a chance. See how far it goes before it stops working or makes a sound. It might have been easier in the 2000s when there were half atx cases with still basically NOTHING inside of them. I remember a friend of mine fitting an entire folded up paper plate with leftover fries and sauce into a computer once. I seriously doubt anybody ever looked inside of that case again.

Microsoft removing CTRL - ALT and arrrow to turn the screen is a crime.

Wait, did they really? They made a fucking shortcut for LinkedIn but took this away?

I was wondering why that didn't work... No fun allowed.

I thought that was video drivers. It was part of the Intel drivers when I did support ages ago. Students would be annoying about it in the labs.

[–] irelephant@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

It could be, but its possible to turn the shortcut back on iirc.

You literally described every office, ever.

I'm not going to assume my experience is universal.
