LMAO!! aww reminds me of my tech support days.

There was a picture I saw before and it said "goes to parents for thanksgiving, 5 new toolbars in IE :( "

made me lol

yesterday I worked on some guys laptop.

He had Vista and was missing Sp2. Had a really old version of java, almost every 3rd party application was out of date and for Antiviruses he had..

Microsoft Security Essentials

Windows Defender

Mcafee Internet Security

Web Root secure anywhere

PC tools antispyware + Antivirus.

and Symantec endpoint (think that's what it was called)

All were either trials or expired. Except for the endpoint I think the college gave him that one.

That is funny warwagon, but nearly as funny as when I was working IT for a local insurance firm, and had to replace a computer because the old lady who worked the cubicle kept watering her fake plastic plant sitting on top of it...

...Or that time a customer repeatedly called us about his PC sporadically hanging and the HDD clicking. We sent the local IT guys on location, the side of the PC case had 38 of those fridge magnets on it....

Didn't they disprove the whole magent and hard drive thing?

No idea.

But fact is, with them there the problems arose, without them everything was fine. This was then tested a bit more by the local site admin where,a t least in this case, the influence of magnets was confirmed.

For fun, he then organised a day called "bring in your fridge magnet". The whole PC case was covered with fridge magnets. The PC wouldn't even boot.

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
    • Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Confirming many rumors, Nintendo officially announced a remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the very first game in the series that offered a 3D experience to fans. Unlike previous remasters and re-releases, the originally 1998-released fantasy adventure game is being remade from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch 2 console this time. "The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2," said the company about today's announcement. While Nintendo didn't go into much detail about the project, other than confirming its existence, we did get a small teaser trailer at the Direct presentation today. Catch the footage below: With a tapestry as the backdrop, the first half of the trailer tells the tale of Hyrule, the Kokiri forest dwellers, and their fairy companions. It goes onto introduce "one particular boy" without a fairy, which then cuts to a sleeping Link, showcasing what looks like the new art style being introduced in the remake. Unfortunately, no gameplay or a look at the world has been revealed yet. The game originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998, offering a time travel adventure where Link is once again going up against the evil king Ganondorf. The hugely well-received title has only been playable on modern Nintendo consoles using the Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have a firm release date yet, but Nintendo says it will be released sometime in 2026. Considering just how many publishers are avoiding the Grand Theft Auto VI release nowadays, the company may copy that strategy and also opt to bring this out before November this year.
