− | + | The comics show somehow extreme example. Some software had a bug causing the CPU to overheat when you hold spacebar. In version 10.17, the bug was fixed. Soon, longtimeuser4 complained that they liked the "feature" of CPU overheating on holding spacebar, presents the workflow how they use it (which is, again, more weird than usual) and wants an option to re-enable it. Emacs (''E''ditor ''MAC''ro''S'') is a text editor popular in Linux (with ports to virtually all operating systems including Android) that features a very powerful internal macro language. Macros are little programs or scripts for automating repetitive tasks. | |
− | + | The title text makes a hyperbole to humorous effect, children will freeze to death during the winter because they won't be warmed by a rather unconventional heater. | |
