This is GRUB’s final warning before you dig too deep in the OS list. Never hold ⬇️ for more than 45 minutes. If you do, make sure you have punch tape with a bootloader available or you’ll have to manually enter machine code instructions to get your computer back up.

Do you think enough Harry Potter porn is produced to cover a continuous video stream / decent-rate picture slideshow?

Anyway, these could be AI-generated with feedback from EEG.

The hole in the fuselage that caused them to be sucked out was actually made by one of them in a suicide/homicide. Very tragic. Somebody invest in mental health please!

A powerbank is another step in energy conversion and the cables are annoying.

Yeah, it’s fun but the temperature needs to be correct. With rising temperature, the paper goes black, light gray, brown and then glowing orange.

I am not aware of any receipt printers using lasers - thermal printers have an array of resistors that get hot when necessary. I know how a laser printer works and it is hard to explain in 12 or so words. Inkjets are way easier, you can just say “squirt squirt oops”. Anyway…

1. A photosensitive drum gets a negative electrostatic charge.
2. A laser shining through a rotating prism scans lines across the drum’s surface. This removes charge from parts of the drum that should not be covered in toner.
3. A high-voltage corona wire inside the toner reservoir charges an amount of toner positively.
4. The charged drum rotates past the corona wire, getting covered in toner where its negative charge remains.
5. Paper is pushed against the drum and the powdery toner is transferred to it.
6. The paper continues into a fuser, a little oven where a heating element briefly makes the toner so hot that it melts, its powder particles making a permanent bond among themselves and with the paper. (The heater is usually stationary and heats the paper from below. The fuser drum that pushes paper against the heater can get sticky and pick up some of the toner, making images repeat down the page. This is the most common failure mode that cannot be resolved through regular maintenance such as replacing the toner cartridge and printing cleaning pages. However, almost all laser printers have a cheap fuser module or its drum available so it is usually worth replacing.)

Time travel is a prerequisite but don’t worry, you can just

Sure, no algorithm is able to extract any more information from a single photo. But how about combining detail caught in multiple frames of video? Some phones already do this kind of thing, getting multiple samples for highly zoomed photos thanks to camera shake.

Still, the problem remains that the results from a cherry-picked algorithm or outright hand-crafted pics may be presented.

Laser printers more accurately “bake paper so that number powder sticks to it”

I wonder if there is a notification ad blocker with community-submittted sets of regex patterns that root users can use.

Finally we know…

Die Sammlung wurde von einem deutschen Verlag verbreitet, die Bilder sind aber meistens US-Amerikanisch basiert (z. B. Bilder von Erde sehen immer so 🌎 aus). Ich habe nur drei deutschsprächige Bilder da gefunden! Denn sie komprimiert nur etwa 5-10 MB (abhängig von Methode) enthält, wurden auf dem CD-Version ein paar Stücke Shareware für Bildbearbeitung und Spiele mit reingeworfen, zusammen ist das aber nur etwa 33 MB, oder 5% Kapazität des CD-ROMs. Trotzdem haben sie mindestens 3 solche Volumen separat verkäuft! Und für 30 DM auch kleine Bücher mit Bildindex (denn sie von Disketten langsam laden) und Einleitung zum englischsprächigen Software. Die erste habe ich, die originale Datein aber nicht. Die Satire gegen IBM ist überall, meistens aber um 052-065, was ironisch ist, denn das Buch sich „5000 Cliparts für PC und Amiga“ nennt.

If you look at the collection, it is apparent that they often group unrelated clipart into one picture. Therefore, the four icons, the penguin, the bow and the “comic” panel are likely completely irrelevant to each other. Despite being bundled with DOS software, the monochrome pictures are likely best suited for the Mac’s high-res monochrome screen, and many seem to have been made by Mac fans mocking PC users in comics like these. They would hot have known about Tux the Linux penguin back then so it’s a generic penguin that does not represent Linux (but appears next to a robotic Mac in one picture??)

As for how the comic is supposed to be funny, I’d guess that the point is how difficult setting up a PC used to be(?) No idea if the thought bubble with the pirate is relevant but it is in a dithered area, meaning it’s likely not meant to be cut and pasted elsewhere.
