I use Linux. Using apt to update everything looks so much cooler than windows updates. It’s also a lot more informative when there’s issues.
The fact that it makes me look like a Hollywood hacker, at least when I’ve been lazy and not updated for a while, is just a nice bonus.
Well we know you can spell update so you’re already better than most windows users.
Until this day, always when i open a terminal on my colleague’s Mac and fix his problem with mostly [ up,up,up -> Enter ] he keeps looking at me like i just took a dump in front of his house, for the rest of the day.
Edit: we have worked together for 20 years by now
Could it be that you took a dump in front of his house before fixing his problem?
[ up,up,up -> Enter ]
So if I understand this right, his terminal history consists entirely of commands you’ve run to fix his recurring problems.
I have the opposite experience where I opened a terminal on a colleague’s Mac and fixed his env variables and he was mostly impressed.
Nice profile picture!
…Lisan al Gaib.
TBF, anyone who can open Terminal can probably hack the average Facebook Grandma.
“Can I have your bank details please?”
“Sure”
Way back in the 1000’s, I got detention for ctrl-breaking out of an autoexec.bat and looking around the hard drive. I also lost an internship.
Man isn’t that fun, getting punished by educators for outsmarting them?
“Kick em’ right in the future! That’ll teach ya ta have an inquiring mind around HERE!”
“Alright then, I am a hacker.”
Not a hacker. Just a very naughty boy. Now go away.
I’m not a hacker, but when I use the terminal, etc. I feel like one and know I look like one to the vast majority of people, and we all need our cool feeling moments.
I sorta miss this but I am far enough that I tend to only deal with IT people so im sorta insulated from this.
Hey, at least he’s not a cracker.
He is thale hacker!
Yeah, this never happened…
Yes it has, lots of times for me personally, so I’m sure it’s common.
You wish.
