Oh, eww. I thought it was a reference to Orks, but it was just racist.

Well that's why my laptop is red.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 weeks ago

It's supposed to be red stripes! Not fully red! Paint the rest blue to help with cooling, otherwise it will keep overheating.

[-] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Explains alot...

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

That and replace all the fans to sound like "waaaargh" as they spin.

I thought it was Mac Vs PC

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 35 points 3 weeks ago

Really don't feel like this one needed a comeback. Publicly posting that is enough of a self-own.

I was very confused how painting a laptop black made it less secure or how that could make it run faster. I was just like, "holy shit somebody painted a laptop" and was thinking about the hinges and stuff and what type of paint they hopefully used.

Then read the white bit and realized it was about race.

I thought it was some dumb attempt at thermal management like “oh when you paint roofs white it lowers electricity bills because the heat from the sun can’t go in as good so if I paint my laptop black it’ll be cooler because the heat from the inside will go out better, maybe”

Like just some real dumb shit like that, but nope, racism

[-] SCmSTR 3 points 3 weeks ago

Same. I remember doughnut on YouTube or ltt or somebody doing a thing on painting radiators black, and whether or not that increased their thermal ability.

Like just some real dumb shit like that, but nope, racism.

Yeah this was me to. I was like what an idiot

Comeback? the dates are from this week?

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago

Comeback as in "A retort or answer, particularly a quick or clever one."

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comeback

Franklin's response is the 'comeback' in this case.

[-] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

This complete misunderstanding of "comeback" was surprisingly humorous, thank you.

I can't find the original tweet or the account from the screenshot

[-] FundMECFSResearch 8 points 3 weeks ago

90% sure this is a shitty meme generated thing

[-] aeternum 1 points 3 weeks ago

yeah, the fonts aren't right.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty sure one person came up with two racist jokes to tell at once.

[-] Deebster@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

You mean from the Karen that can't decide how to spell her own name or the Chad? I'd just assumed it was all made up.

She should’ve painted it brown. It would always work without an issue, yet Karren would still blame it for all of her problems.
