Really awful place. Would never go there again. Not because of the TV, everything was awful. The service, the broken doors, the flies everywhere, the queues to the canteen, the long walks to key locations from your room. Place was hot garbage and does not deserve even two stars. (It claims its a 3 star hotel. I expect some standards)

I know it's nothing but it felt like creating a virus when I was 15. Only way to stop it was to restart the PC. Gave the program to some people so they had to restart, which took about 5 minutes.

Not hacking but it was cool.

I can feel your satisfaction right here

Back in the days, you had to install MSN messenger on your computer in order to speak with your friends. But if you had no admin access, you couldn't install anything (especially if you are 10) so actually it was a pretty good idea to connect a widely used social media plaform with a web based service.

Internet was a moderatly expencive service, and people went to libraries to get online free, and speak with their friends

Yes, now you can just talk into the mic and let NSA do the rest

That's just you being shit at coding

So this is the power of a computer science education. I remember using Chrome dev tools in middle school.


To answer the op: changed computer password through command prompt, made a shutdown batch script and replaced web browser icon with it, bypassed webpahe blockers. Middle school was fun.
