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.
My printer has also a scanner. It won't scan any document unless the ink cartridges are full -.-
Luckily, you can trick them by painting over the ink sensors :p

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."
I want to have terms and conditions but to accept you have to take a little quiz
and BOOM we just found all your search history videos and we gonna re advertise them
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.
On my MacBook, Origin would always open ever time I launched it.
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."
hhahaha this is really good, the impression of the computer at the end hahah love it
In the good old days, the status bar would move to 131% and you were still NOT done.
THIS is why the franchise I worked for in the early 2000s took all computers offline: because "automatic updates" would freeze people out of their computers for a few minutes or a couple of hours with no warning.
Just once I want to buy something without being asked to leave a review, or being bombarded with adverts, for something I clicked on by mistake. This is what will send me back to the High Street!
Last time i did it, i got a message that someone connected in my google account somewhere close to area ''Europe''. At least, not the biggest of continents.
Facebook was worse. Google at least lets me use my accounts whenever and wherever I need them. Facebook (which I only use with a company account and for work) insisted I had to physically be in my office by the computer. So.... Yeah, that PR posting was delayed. Ah well, whatever...
Once I left my phone at home and I needed to log in to my email. So I took my fiancé's phone and tried to log in. I got a Google "login from new device" alert which I had to confirm using... My phone I left at home... Makes sense.
Oh, that sucks! I hate when that happens. I usually have a problem with falling asleep so when I feel ready, I need to go to sleep as soon as possible
so f*****g relatable. hope those microsoft guys out there suffer a hell lot

There are also viruses for Linux. Also many people forget that Android is Linux based system and it has plenty of viruses...

Once I was printing a map for a school project and I realized that it was printing too big so I stopped the printing and it printed an entire page of green
Until the day you actually want to get a wire to catch on a hook...

Once Facebook somehow managed to get my email and created a fake account for me. A complaint was filed but Facebook continued to email me. Edit: they are still emailing me

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.

The Mac Pro used to be available to anyone who needs a full size computer. 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. Apple f****d itself right along with the Mac Pro market it f****d.
I've worked on Apple computers for 30 years. In what universe are they cheaper than Windows?
That's the point. That was Apple's old slogan, now look at it. Complete opposite.

Is there something I'm missing here? Am I too dumb to get it? What is that other camera supposed to be?
I think it's about the fact that all the strange animals / Aliens / Monster of Loch Ness-Photos are low quality....

These are funny. Yet most of these are actually hints to blame developers who develop without second thought or ethics, or users who forget common sense...
Developers work under harsh conditions. Nowadays that everything is real time service, they are obbligated to constantly monitor their work, and if only one tiny code gets mistyped, huge poop happens and they have to work literally non-stop (say, 30 hours, no sleep no proper food) to find and solve the mistake. All this for an average pay. Now, I guess it depends on various companies, but really, software developers desperately need a better working environment. All these frustrating little bugs would be reduced as well.

I have been a tech person since age 16 (well, years earlier, really, but I didn’t know much until later). I worked in IT for many years. I HATE COMPUTERS. I DESPISE THEM. The industry is a pile of f*****g s**t and getting worse daily. Apple briefly pushed us all ahead when they released brilliant and stable products everyone could afford. Now Apple is back to being part of the problem with buggy software, products shoved onto the market prematurely, built-in obsolescence, and insane prices. F**K APPLE AND ALL THE REST. And no, I will never build a PC again. F**K THIS INDUSTRY.
