There's a reason I put the Israeli nationalist on the black side despite the color scheme...
Wherever it is I'm going. I'll wait for you there.
Yuri, this God will not forgive you.

No longer want to fight for an imperialist despot? There's a single-chip solution for that!
Here's the PDF for higher resolution: https://datasheet4u.com/pdf-down/C/D/1/CD1379CP_ShaoxingSilicoreTechnology.pdf
It's either detection or deflection. The chip detects horizontal and vertical sync pulses in composite video and drives the deflection yokes accordingly to create a linear sawtooth of the correct phase and frequency for the beam to scan a rectangle while the visible part of the video signal is transmitted.

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:
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.

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...
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
and touch
grass yeah I I know I know um it's

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

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

anyways it's that a car please bra
out think I'm okay oh no not another one
the in my
ankles no please stop this way please no
happens I need to get
home if I can make it
home
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??)
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.

Yuri Stern is their chosen name (and it's androgynous because "Yuri" is the transliteration of either a male Russian name or a Japanese female name (the latter is more likely, given the prominence of German and Japanese in the game); even their prior (presumably dead) name, featured in prior games, is androgynous), and they use they/them pronouns. I didn't find info about their gender but wouldn't be surprised if they considered themselves lesbian (enbys can be lesbian too). The other dev, Barbara Wittmann (aka antihelios) is likely a woman (uses she/her pronouns). They are featured in a "Women in Gaming" listicle but that's hard to trust. They seem to keep their personal info (gender and relationship status) private.
