Hello! I'm Andrew, and this is System32Comics—a funny comic series that is based on technology humor. Don't worry, you don't need a master's degree in computer science to understand my comics. All of my comics are based on everyday experiences of using a computer.

Without further ado, here is the collection of my comics. I hope you enjoy it! If you want to see more, find my previous comics here, here, and here.

Yup. If a site doesn't let me click through the anti-ad blocker message, I leave. Bored Panda gets me as a visitor because they let me click through it, although they try to guilt me, lol.

Yep... You put your content behind ads, keep this in mind: I'd sooner test the strength of my stomach by eating all the cut grass in the neighborhood than disable my Ad Blocker.

I'd be more willing to whitelist ads for some sites IF I can be 100% sure that I wouldn't be hit by malvertising: https://www.cnet.com/news/new-york-times-bbc-dangerous-ads-ransomware-malvertising/ For various reasons most sites can't just serve up static image ads, it needs to have javascript and all sorts of crap enabled.

Protip: if you're just trying to read something, inspect element works on computers. On iPhones, switch to "reader view" to get past this problem! It also works when a website is harassing you to sign up to read the article

I absolutely HATE those ads. Running 3 adblockers now and they still come through. Yahoo mail is one of the worst. Block the ads and your access to all the email functions is gone.

Or I just add a filter to my adblock to get rid of that warning.

I'll be the one person here who's not fun at parties. Things in life are never really for free. Don't get me wrong - huge pop-up ads that start playing loud music immediately or ads that block part of the website you want to see - are definitely wrong. But otherwise - using AdBlock makes you basically a thief, in my opinion. (Not the worst possible kind but still.) You're using a service that needs money to be run and deliberately not paying for it. I don't use AdBlock and if I don't go too crazy clickbaity websites, I don't feel like I really miss it. BP sometimes gets pretty clickbaity but in terms of ads - I never get the horrible kinds I mentioned at the beginning.

Here's why I think you're wrong: I use an ad blocker for all websites. There used to be a time when seeing ads on a website meant that the company owning the website agreed to a publicity contract between them and the one wanting to advertise the products on that website. This meant that the website had to be modified in order to accommodate those ads and they were being paid directly be the company that did the advertising of the products. This all changed with Google ads, where you only have to make the space for ads available on the website and then Google and others (?) may use that space to blast whichever ads they think you want and/or are available. It's also how they make money off of it. There also was a time where ads like these could lead to malware or to the exploitation of the computer of the one clicking on them. An ad blocker can't block the ads that are hosted on the actual website. It just blocks the ones that are outsourced to a service like Google ads.

"checking online" .... two hours later ... "we could not find a solution". "This program totally screwed up" would be more honest.

I imagined in the last panel "wifi" being said quieter than the 3rd. 😁

More commonly "I created this account 1 week ago, logged into it four times, have the password save in autofill, and written on my desk. Why you say it wrong password???" Happens to me all the time.

LMAO. That's why I have my personal laptop next to my work one. Steam keeps me busy while I wait for more work.
