April Fools Tech Pranks?

iamdarkyoshi

What tech related pranks will you all be pulling on the first of april?

 

I have three I might do.

 

1. Photocopy 100 copies of a paperclip, and put them back into the paper tray. Whoever copies stuff will be driven insane trying to figure out where the paperclip is on their document.

 

2. Screenshot a PC's desktop, rotate that image 180 degrees, set as wallpaper, disable desktop icons, hide the statusbar, and then set their monitor orientation to "Flipped"

Their desktop appears normal but the mouse is inverted and none of the bottons work.

 

3. LMG's idea, but the wireless keyboard and mouse prank (look on channelsuperfun for it)

 

 

What tech pranks do you guys plan to do? Don't get too agressive!

or just run a VM on your server that you obviously have and run windows xp from there, connect it via remote desktop and tada: prank

and when they walk away just switch to your linux VM :)

and then a fresh copy of windows 10 so they think all their stuff is *poof*

The computer I have checked have 4 core i5s (the ones in IT rooms), ms office 2010 and and the whole adobe suit but run really slow cause they don't have enough ram. There is well over 1000 computer (i think) in our school. The secondary school (uk) has about 2.5k+ students.

 

BUT they are SO locked down!!!!!!

not enough ram for safari helps

I was good at messing up computers as a kid. I think I remember how to make the touchpad reverse up and down without mirroring left and right, or the other way around.
