    Maybe being bombarded with cookie banners and bullshit popups teaches you to ignore dialog boxes.

      Yes, that certently doesn’t help, but this was a problem 30 years ago too.

      Maybe we need dialog boxes to ocassionally ask to do stupid shit so people start reading them

      • “Invert colors for 5 minutes?”
      • “Make mouse gigantic for 5 min?”
      • “Turn screen upsidedown for a minute?”

      Now you have to read.

        Windows has had that feature (without the timeout obv) for a long time. I think it’s the Intel IGA driver and CTRL-ALT-Arrow. A decade ago when I was working for a Community College IT dept, that (and the brightest pink MLP background you could find) was always what you’d get if you walked away and didn’t lock your computer.

          Those kinds of pranks happened in school too. That, and tape under the mouse.

          Unfortuanlty if MS does it, they’ll forget the time out part and we’ll be the ones who have to undo it all.
