This reminds me of a slightly less harmless prank I pulled on my dad years ago. I took a screenshot of his computer, then I moved all of his shortcuts from his desktop somewhere else. Then I created new shortcuts for Internet Explorer and my computer that looked like them and were named the same but we're actually batch files that initiated a shutdown of the computer. I put those both on the desktop and also in the start menu. So, in effect, when he went to his computer everything looked normally but when he tried to click on an icon it either wouldn't do anything or it would shut down the computer. It didn't take him long to realize who did it and I fixed it within minutes. No permanent harm done.

My brother had me take a flash drive to school with this "virus" on it. We had the old desktop Macs that everyone growing up in the 90's/early 00's remember. My teacher had stepped out of the room and I put it on her computer. As she was teaching her lesson it happened and she started freaking out while all the students were cracking up.

There is, or at least was, a screenshot program for Mac OS X that would actually output a layered Photoshop file, where everything that could be separated was. It’s because, in Mac OS X, a programmer can use “windows” for things much smaller than an actual window. It’s also important to understand that Mac OS X’s windowing system, Quartz, operates very much like Photoshop layers, where each window is a graphics object independent of the others, with the final alpha-blended compositing into a bitmap of the screen being done at the very end of the pipeline (in the GPU in all but the earliest versions). One of the Quartz debug tools shows the list of windows at the graphics driver level. So the layered screenshot app would simply capture each “window” object in Quartz (with its attached drop shadow layer) and save it as a Photoshop layer. Newton would be doing the same.

Oh, I remember this, I experienced this once in a random user's macbook. That was a experience of everything falling on me. -Dev *_Siri_*

[@cydneyking7453]

Ok honestly, this is sorta genius. I’m into it.

[@cognizant3252]

It would be interesting to see you cover the MEMZ virus. I think you'd like it

0:13 So macs have accelerometers!? Since you can tilt the Mac with crashed os to swirl the icons.

[@nationsquid]

They do! The older MacBook models (and this program on the older models) apparently used the accelerometer on the hard disk drives if I remember correctly, but I would have to double check on that. :)

[@Incidental104]

@@nationsquid ah that makes sense since hard dirks stopped spinning when dropped, so that’s probably the sensor that is used here.

Excellent video.Looking forward to your future videos.

[@TriggiTrigs]

Another exelent vid (:

[@nationsquid]

Thank you so much! :)

[@spazzy_aura]

Can you do a video on the “locky” virus?

[@nationsquid]

I'll look into this! Thank you for watching! :)

[@spazzy_aura]

@@nationsquid of course! Your videos always freak me out in a good way! And I meant “locky” not “lucky@

Reminds me of Cascade. Some joker infected our machines at the uni lab with it in the late 80s.

Apple 🍎 falling down leaves a big mess

[@TriggiTrigs]

Apples dont taste a nice as when you eat COMPUTER VIRUSES, they yum yum

[@latrodectusmactans7592]

This is amazing. Never heard of it despite owning a Mac Pro at the time but it’s so clever. Also love that Halo music (I think?).

[@LibraryOfRuina_Angelica]

this harmless virus is mostly fun instead of annoying. change my mind. because this is just something you can do if you're bored, you can watch the icons move and ngl it looks satisfying to me.

[@Mystic_Warriors]

This was surprisingly wholesome
