I can't find the exact thread where they say there was a JS injection, but I'll link you to a few topics regarding the general issue:

Someone in my class once had to connect his laptop to the beamer as example student. He asked to the teacher how to safe his file. The teacher answered he had to use ctrl+s. The student (16 years old btw) just typed ctrl+s in his document and was wondering why it wasn't working. Everyone started laughing and when the teacher turned around he could do nothing but facepalm. :P

I didn't even use it to download Waterfox, I installed Waterfox on a flashdrive before formatting my SSD and reinstalling Windows

I use internet explorer as my primary browser. :)

You mean to tell me i cant browse dank may mays if i plug my internet by USB?

 

Our old router was a BT voyager 220V which had no wifi and only two wired ports. However only one of them was ethernet, and my computer was plugged into the other port via USB cable. Yup. USB internet connection. Good times.

Our school uses a small router with HP Mini 2012. Old intel atoms + Driving Windows 7 = Diaster.

I thought I had some money... Oh wait... I spent it all ;(

User just moved desks. He plugged everything himself.

 

User: My monitors aren't working, they were working before. IT come fix it.

Me: Okay let me see what the issue is

User has dual display monitors. So I followed the first cable from the back of monitor one all the way to...... the back of monitor 2..... interesting cable management. So where is the second monitor cable? 

Displayport to DVI adapter lead it back to the second DVI port on the video card.

I looked at him and his face was red. FYI this user is a developer. /facepalm

I feel sorry for you. I bet that would suck so bad. I hate tiny routers, as they just tend to work for 3 weeks than go die on you.

A ) It works exactly the same in any orientation, there is no such thing as upside down.

B ) It could be in that orientation because that provided the best cable run (between the cooler fan and the fan header).

When I was younger I would always get blamed when something went wrong with the computer, saying my games broke it. I'm pretty sure If a game is being released to thousands of people, it will be stable and not cause the BSOD for no reason.

 

My dad still claims that all the games I have on the computer are all somehow a botnet and the more games there are the slower it gets. He also swears that minecraft is a virus. He also called steam support because he thought it was a virus and didn't know how to uninstall it.

Is this something "inappropriate"?  I want to open it but I'm at school... on the district issued computers... so yeah.

My life is consumed by CS:GO, even though I'm not exceptionally good at it.

There aren't bad pictures or anything

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.
