Désolé, je ne parle pas français et je ne peux donc pas le faire moi-même. Oui, c'est un peu hypocrite de ma part de rire de ce que je pense être une traduction automatique alors que j'en utilise une moi-même. Peut-être que les traductions françaises ne sont pas automatiques, mais je suppose que c'est le cas parce que la moitié des traductions allemandes sont ridicules.

Je pense que c'est l'un des plus mauvais:
Attention: Surveillez votre tête
I think this is one of the bad ones.

US company sells ridiculously machine-translated US safety signs that obviously don't follow European standards. Feel free to pick the funniest ones and make a collection.

Sorry, I can't speak French so I can't do that myself. Yes, it's a little hypocritical of me to laugh at what I think is a machine translation while using one myself. Maybe the French ones are not machine-translated but I'm guessing they might be because half of the German ones are ridiculous.

Unlike photos, upscaling digital art with a well-trained algorithm will likely have little to no undesirable effect. Why? Well, the drawing originated as a series of brush strokes, fill areas, gradients etc. which could be represented in a vector format but are instead rendered on a pixel canvas. As long as no feature is smaller than 2 pixels, the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem effectively says that the original vector image can therefore be reconstructed losslessly. (This is not a fully accurate explanation, in practice algorithms need more pixels to make a good guess, especially if compression artifacts are present.) Suppose I gave you a low-res image of the flag of South Korea 🇰🇷 and asked you to manually upscale it for printing. Knowing that the flag has no small features so there is no need to guess for detail (this assumption does not hold for photos), you could redraw it with vector shapes that use the same colors and recreate every stroke and arc in the image, and then render them at an arbitrarily high resolution. AI upscalers trained on drawings somewhat imitate this process - not adding detail, just trying to represent the original with more pixels so that it loooks sharp on an HD screen. However, the original images are so low-res that artifacts are basically inevitable, which is why a link to the original is provided.

Some of them use bismuth, which is as weakly radioactive as it gets, but why? It's still a heavy metal and might be poisonous if parts of it shed off.

This is GRUB’s final warning before you dig too deep in the OS list. Never hold ⬇️ for more than 45 minutes. If you do, make sure you have punch tape with a bootloader available or you'll have to manually enter machine code instructions to get your computer back up.

surgeon

Really? The Hippocratic Oath originally included "I will not use the knife". A surgeon is very limited without a knife.

Edit: I read the thing and it basically says that doctors and surgeons are separate professions: doctors MUST take the oath while surgeons MUST NOT; this also prevents surgeons from obtaining medical knowledge unless they are a son (or presumably a daughter) of a doctor.

Because

  1. When the internet was rolling out, a decentralized, open, best-effort solution of TCP/IP thankfully won over telephone companies' centralized system proposal
  2. IPv6 is still not universal for some damn reason
  3. Onion addresses solve these problems but good luck getting everyone aboard with Tor
  4. You always trade anonymity for reachability, and with the amount of threats, NAT and firewalls have been put up to make it harder for unsolicited requests to reach you by default

I am not aware of any receipt printers using lasers - thermal printers have an array of resistors that get hot when necessary. I know how a laser printer works and it is hard to explain in 12 or so words. Inkjets are way easier, you can just say "squirt squirt oops". Anyway...

  1. A photosensitive drum gets a negative electrostatic charge.
  2. A laser shining through a rotating prism scans lines across the drum's surface. This removes charge from parts of the drum that should not be covered in toner.
  3. A high-voltage corona wire inside the toner reservoir charges an amount of toner positively.
  4. The charged drum rotates past the corona wire, getting covered in toner where its negative charge remains.
  5. Paper is pushed against the drum and the powdery toner is transferred to it.
  6. The paper continues into a fuser, a little oven where a heating element briefly makes the toner so hot that it melts, its powder particles making a permanent bond among themselves and with the paper. (The heater is usually stationary and heats the paper from below. The fuser drum that pushes paper against the heater can get sticky and pick up some of the toner, making images repeat down the page. This is the most common failure mode that cannot be resolved through regular maintenance such as replacing the toner cartridge and printing cleaning pages. However, almost all laser printers have a cheap fuser module or its drum available so it is usually worth replacing.)

Time travel is a prerequisite but don't worry, you can just

from __future__ import antigravity

Laser printers more accurately "bake paper so that number powder sticks to it"

oh isn't it a beautiful day how cutie
the sun's bright the birds are singing
nicely it's a good as day as any to go

important though I need to go to the
store it's been a while and you know
replenish the
pantry um it'll be okay though I promise
I'll be back soon it shouldn't take too
long and no no you don't you please
don't come with me I can touch enough
grass for the both of us and I promise
I'll be back soon okay nothing bad's
going to
happen but in case I don't come back
please feed
mocha and take care of her for
me
no I've got to go now before I check it
out I'll I'll see you later okay you
just stay nice and safe inside
okay good
cutie all right that was easy got
everything I need yeah okay I've got to
hurry home now uh I've probably got to
switch out the cuties
bandages maybe we refill the ice pack
and ah goodness oh I didn't see that
puddle it was surprisingly deep and now
my boots are
muddy that's okay though once I get home
I can wipe them huh holy goodness
gracious why is no one watching where
they're going right now I almost dropped

If you look at the collection, it is apparent that they often group unrelated clipart into one picture. Therefore, the four icons, the penguin, the bow and the "comic" panel are likely completely irrelevant to each other. Despite being bundled with DOS software, the monochrome pictures are likely best suited for the Mac's high-res monochrome screen, and many seem to have been made by Mac fans mocking PC users in comics like these. They would hot have known about Tux the Linux penguin back then so it's a generic penguin that does not represent Linux (but appears next to a robotic Mac in one picture??)
055

As for how the comic is supposed to be funny, I'd guess that the point is how difficult setting up a PC used to be(?) No idea if the thought bubble with the pirate is relevant but it is in a dithered area, meaning it's likely not meant to be cut and pasted elsewhere.
