You decide to use the Task Manager as your old trusted weapon in the battle. Throw a pair of dice.

  • If the sum is greater than 6, the Wizard wins the battle, and you have to restart the PC/laptop, losing all unsaved work in the process.
  • If you land a pair of ones, twos or threes, you defeat the Wizard, and should now decide whether to give it another chance to revive and hopefully behave.
  • If you land any other values, you defeat the Wizard, but realize there’s no hope to turn it to the good side or at least bring it under your command. Further exploration in the area tells you a greater evil called Windows 11 is behind the Wizard’s atrocities. Your current attribute levels are no match for Windows 11’s bugs. You lose with a fatal BSOD. Microsoft salvages your “diagnostic” information. Lower your shield and mana levels to 0, and regret your decision to upgrade to Windows 11 for three turns.

Another silent change in the latest update, at least on my phone, is that the assistant disregards media volume levels and screams its feedback on full volume. It wasn’t like this until a week ago. Restarting, playing with settings, adjusting the volume as she screams, nothing helps.

So if I ask her to do something late at night she goes, “OKAY I WILL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU ASKED ME TO DO AND WILL ANNOUNCE IT TO THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE PROCESS”

Bottom right:

That can also be your poor fucking housemate if you got one. One day, after 5 snoozes at 5am, I went to the dude’s door and yelled, “Either get the fuck up or I’ll pour an ice-cold bucket of water over your head and bed the next time it rings!” I wasn’t joking. He never used the snooze function again.

If accepted.
Reviewer’s comments:

  • While the paper is well-written overall, contributions on adaptation of alien technology as well as comparison with state-of-the-art are not made clear.
  • Authors should consider using TikZ to create the diagrams. My Kindle e-reader had difficulty scaling and displaying the diagrams.
  • The paper’s tone could benefit from more technicality.
  • The terms “alien”, “ET”, “technology”, and “stuff” have been used ambiguously throughout the paper. The authors should consider including a table of nomenclature.
  • The experimental results don’t appear to provide sufficient statistical significance on how much the mankind’s genitalia could be pleased using the alien apparatus. The results would be more conclusive if the application of the apparatus on extraterrestrial genitalia is studied too. This has the additional benefit of avoiding to fall for spurious relationships.
