Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 02, 2025

Love it!

No matter what you make, always include an Off Switch

I shutdown my computer every night, my wife leaves her personal computer running but shuts down her work computer every evening. And I reboot the router monthly or whenever it seems slow.

Amen, Verne.

Like a blind hooker, she never saw it coming…

It’ll just go join a denial of service party.

This is my thought whenever I hear about cyber-bullying. Walk away.

That’s a trope in many of the movies, evil computer is going to nuke the world, and humans know ahead of time and are powerless to stop it. Except humans control the power to the computers, can disable the physical mechanisms that are used to launch or can physically disable the missiles themselves. I think I remember the Russians were a little worried during Y2K and their solution was to simply park a big truck on top of a silo. If it opened the truck would fall in and smash the missile to pieces.

Darn. Dramatic

“Drat him. Double drat him!”

If all else fails, a 20 pound sledge will shut them up.

See my comment from yesterday’s strip!

Microsoft IS evil with their “Recall” software continually recording what’s on your screen.
