I got pranked with this website: https://updatefaker.com/

I recently switched from manual labor to office labour and learned the hard way to lock my screen :)

In hindsight it was hilarious, but I waited for maybe 20 minutes before I got suspicious. How can I take revenge?

    • Screenshot their desktop
    • hide all icons
    • set screenshot as desktop background
    • watch them die inside as nothing works, not even a restart.

    Optional step:

    • put your wireless mouse receiver in their computer and subtly click occasionally, or move when they move. Has to be subtle enough for them to question their sanity for a few hours.

    I managed to do the above once. Worth it.

      I did that with the bonus of flipping the screenshot upside down on photoshop first. Then flipped his screen.

        That’s a great addition. We used to screenshot it with an application open so they would keep trying to close the application. I had a coworker restart their computer several times before he realized what was going on.

      Don’t forget to move the taskbar to the other side of the screen and set to auto-hide.
