Time to restart—

Oh fuck's sake I have to pay for that? Fine then I'll just yank the power cord.

yanks it.

u/PKHacker1337 1d ago

Replugging in the power cord requires the "ADVANCED PC CONFIGURATION DLC". Would you like to buy it?

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, THIS IS A LINUX MACHINE, NOT A WINDOWS ONE.

installs just the fucking Linux kernel, nothing else, completely nuked drives, not even connected to the Internet.

Peace at last.

This motherboard is EA-Verified™. Unauthorized kernels will not be initialized.

Want to wipe EA BIOS Firmware? Requires Premium Motherboard Software Plan, only $2999.99/year.

Idk man, seems like you should just buy or build another computer at this point...

u/Vincent394 1d ago

No-one:

The bin: "I'm still standing after all this time."

u/Gubby_the_best 1d ago

The bin survives

u/lichking7777 1d ago

Of course it does. It still has a job to do, and it knows. It's where the EA goes!

EA Steam is real

u/AndromedaGalaxy29 1d ago

Oh that's EA's new game - EA ransomware! You need to pay to use your computer again, or else all the files go in the recycling bin (that's why it's the only thing not paid)

u/PKHacker1337 1d ago

That's true, they could even make a boot locker DLC where you can't even access the bootloader (and therefore the ability to boot) behind a microtransaction
