@CozyPlanes I can't. It's a school computer. With student accounts on the Active Directory provided by the domain.

@CozyPlanes it's a classroom set. I wish to get a school laptop. I already built my own PC.

Whenever I open terminal in a public place most people start staring at me like wtf this guy is doing . It's just some ls and cd ...

luc-1848ySo I'm not the only one who did this!
The best part is that I had it running for a long time on the desktop and was meanwhile working on my laptop. Completely forgot about it. Teacher started a staring match when he saw, clearly expecting me to talk. After a while I said something about what I was doing (iirc homework for another subject, not sure) since I'd finished the assignment for this one. He continued to stare, not saying anything and after a while I figured I might as well continue then, so I turned back and continued working. The teacher then continued back to his desk.
... It took 10 minutes for me to notice my desktop screen again. Suddenly it all clicked. He, also a sysadmin, must have figured "if something's wrong with that system, I know who did it". Nothing was wrong, it was just :start\ntree\ngoto start (in two windows to cover the full screen).
Never saw anyone else do this out of boredom, cool to see this here :D -
I found this on my primary school computer and I decided to keep it.

Also once, my friend opened hackertyper during ICT lesson, teacher smiled and told him to stop hacking. Best teacher ever! -

lo98be6187yIn my old school sysadmins blocked CMD.exe and ctrl-r 😓
I just brought my laptop with me and lulz ^_^ -
anyhus7147y@DLMousey thundercunt is a term I have never heard before lmfaoo. That's honestly insane though I can't imagine what I'd do.
-
Used to change the cmd.exe to white bg with black foreground. Just to avoid getting attention by other scared students.. and the teacher. 🙄

Reminds me of a thread I saw on stack overflow a while ago. People started posting scripts that print a bunch of random shit to the screen so it looks like you're hacking the Pentagon. It was pretty awesome

@Gerrymandered go take a look at my new post for admin. (Definitely not self promotion)

PacRat39907y@Gerrymandered most "School laptops" are just chromebooks
and therefore dont qualify as laptops -
@ParkCity they were actually laptops, you know how I know?
Our school couldn’t afford them until this year. Ask @Rekonnect -
@Gerrymandered uhhhhhhhh I mean they ran windows and we're shitty Acer laptop, but we just got CBs this year so... Yeah...
-
@gudishvibes actually I’m constantly SSHing into my home server, so that’s not too far off anymore :)

I understand that for some people, computer science and hacking can be of interest and excitement, but it's important to remember that illegal activities and breaking the rules are not the right path. Instead of engaging in illegal activities, you can use your computer science skills for useful purposes such as software development, cyber security. The most that I violated was found the coursework writing service, used https://essaylab.com/coursework-wri... for this. I would like to meet at least one hacker at all. Responsible use of technology can bring more value and help you in your career.

I was in school and I got bored. I opened two command prompts and did what any scammer would do.
I went to the root of the drive and did a tree. The other window is pinging google infinitely.
After a few seconds, I hear a kid say "Are you hacking the pentagon?". That guy also asked me to hack the Google Play Store. He shall forever think I'm a hacker.
