I used to use this tool to mess with my college computer class professor. Me and a buddy installed it on the teachers computer that she used to instruct the class. We did mostly innocent stuff like closing windows or messing with the browser a bit. Occasionally we would reboot her computer when it was close to the end of class and we didn’t want to start something new. We’re both still coders to this day.
- InvertedRhodium 5y agoI was 13 when it came out, and my targets of choice were my peers rather than the teacher - I eventually got caught and had my account locked for 6 months as punishment. I don't recall exactly how I got caught, but no doubt it was something dumb and avoidable like talking about it.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI'm wondering if people like you have grown up to be the people who break user interfaces needlessly, write cookie popups, integrate ads and telemetry, and force updates on things that don't need them. In other words, did you grow out of your childish shenanigans or are you just getting paid for them now?
