System32Comics (previously here and here) is a webcomics series that is based on, you guessed it, computer humor. But that doesn't mean you have to fluent in C++ to understand them. All of these cartoon drawings are based on everyday experiences of using modern technology around us.

"I became obsessed with computers when I was about 15," the creator of the funny comics, Andrew Gale, wrote on Bored Panda. "I had always wanted to own a gaming PC but my parents couldn't afford one. So, in an attempt to save money, I decided to try and build one myself and started researching the parts that I needed. The gaming PC has played a massive role in my life. Not only have I used it for gaming, but got into digital editing as well. It has taught me to edit videos, create animations, and other digital art. This got me to a few first places winners in various film and art festivals and eventually lead me to create system32comics."

One of the all time great scams. They make you buy all new colors even though only one color is out.

This is BY DESIGN, so users have to buy more ink. Read in PC Times that every inkjet printer uses all four colors of ink -- even on BW documents. When I realized that 99% of what I print would be fine in B/W, I bought a B/W HP laserjet. Cartridges seem expensive, but they last for 12,000 pages.

Following the success of his hilarious comics, Andre told Bored Panda that, "there has definitely been more weight on my shoulder since my comic became viral. I am more pressured in releasing quality content over the quantity of my funny drawings. I figured that releasing quality content is much better for the longevity of my comics series as sometimes ideas for technology can become scarce."

    One interesting thing about them is how total b******t they can be and if one pushes not hold up in court depending on the product as many conditions can be absolutely b******t and some T&C are unrealistic in their length so OFC no one will read them

    Some commenters have said that System32comics can be seen as hints to blame developers who create products without second thought or ethics or users who forget common sense. "In a society that is dominated by capitalism, it is not uncommon to see a company throw out the ethics of their consumers in favor of profit (cough cough, Blizzard) so in a way, my comics are used to criticize these bad practices," the author explained.

    It's why I got rid of a pre-installed version on my previous laptop (it used about 2/3rds of the cache memory) and never installed it in my current one.

    "I see myself continuing this series and possibly creating a new comic series that doesn’t have to focus on technology humor," Andrew added. "Technology comics is cool, but if you milk on that idea too much, you’ll eventually run out."

    Cancel never works. Windows again. And most printers that don’t have a dogdamned cancel button. Even if the print job is already loaded into the printer, the command to cancel from Print Manager should still f*****g cancel the printer’s actual job.

    Advertising is like a cancer we're just told we have to live with, for no good reason. If you have a good product, it should suffice to have a list of all the different companies, not manipulating people into buying their products with adverts that usually have nothin to do with the quality or nature of said product.

Now the newest one is priced so that only Disney studios can afford them... and you know the cheapass IT people will just order cheaper PCs anyway.
