@asklemmy Not a prank, just a story. Back at the Uni, we had a hall in the building, and that was where all of the administration was sitting. This was also one of two spots students hung out during breaks.

In there, there was an "Internet kiosk". In practice, the damned thing was just a crappy WinXP PC with a touch screen and a metal keyboard. It was useless, actually, almost nobody ever touched it, because there were better alternatives in the computer class. The speakers were loud, though.

By default, it opened a browser with a Uni's website as a homepage.

I loved how amazingly useless it was. So It was my primary target.

We ran Doom on it, we replaced the browser with MS Paint (boosting the usefulness 100-fold), replaced the homepage (at this point the whole administration learned what the fox said and that Rick Astley was never gonna give them up by heart, because it was 2013 and Internet was still cool).

On a year 3 I had to stop, though, because the dean was after my blood.
