@asklemmy Here's one more from me, also computer-related:
If you're in a non-English speaking country and your machines use layout switch function, add *one* more keyboard layout on every system you touch. Doesn't matter which one, but bonus points if it's as similar to ones present as possible, but different enough to matter - for example some letters are "switched". I used German, French and even Bulgarian.
Lock the session and watch the reaction.
You are welcome.
@hit_the_rails Poor guy. Hope you got your comeuppance and grew as a person, for this was both uncool and unsmart.
@andrewta Takes a hell of a charisma check to convince to pack up someone else's office, I suppose. But if you did pull it off - whoa, you got a silver tongue, my friend. I hope you reconciled later.
@asklemmy Okay, I'll start.
I don't know if it was my worst - but it was notable.
Back in school, I wrote a worm using nothing but bat files. It were Windows 9x days, so it was fairly easy if you know your way around file shares. It removed most of the files and replaced autoexac.bat with a blinking message. I let it loose in the informatics classroom.
It was a huge scandal, the whole week of informatics curriculum was ruined, my parents got a call, I was made to reinstall everything. But after all the dust settled, I got a lifelong A+ from the informatics teacher. She also offered me and my gang to learn C after class, on a promise I put my nasty mind to good use.
@shuro Wow, the first one is borderline unethical. I don't say I didn't like it, but I certainly wouldn't do that.
The second one, though, is all around great. Will I try it some time? I dunno, maybe? :D
