Tech Pranks For Fun - Part 1

         Top Tech Pranks For Fun

Pranks are awesome. They are one of those few things in life that most people can unequivocally agree on being great.You've probably already pranked some lucky members of your life at one time or another. 

Now you are a techy person lets try out some tech pranks

1. Flip the computer display screen upside down

For Windows: Hit Ctrl + Alt + Down arrow (the same combination with the up arrow will flip it back). If for some reason this doesn't work, right click on the desktop > Display Settings (or Screen Resolution on older versions) and change the screen orientation.

For Mac: Hold Command + Option at the same time, while still holding those keys go to System Preferences. Go to Display (while still holding the two keys) A new menu called Rotation should appear, and you can flip the display and save it or undo.

2. Drive people to insanity by changing the mouse pointer to look constantly busy

This simple prank will make your victim think their computer is hanging all the time when it’s really not. Whenever I see the busy cursor I feel irritable. Can't help it. The mere idea of this prank happening to me makes me want to punch something. But, if you promise to never use this on me here are the directions:

For Windows: Go to the Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers and change the Normal pointer to the working one.

For Mac: This prank option isn't readily available but you can still mess with the cursor. Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display and drag the cursor size all the way to the right to make the mouse pointer gigantic

3. Become the master of sinister autocorrect additions

This simple but overly frustrating prank can be played in numerous ways and depending on your victim you could mess with his computer or smartphone. The basic premise here is to add a custom entry into the AutoCorrect keyboard feature to replace a common word (or the spacebar) with something else entirely.For Android: Go to Settings > Language & Input > Google Keyboard (or other default keyboard) > Text Correction > Personal Dictionary.For iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard (make sure autocorrect is on) > Text Replacement > tap the Plus sign at the top right and add your "corrections.

4.Switch keyboard

Go to the Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards > Change keyboards, then click the Add button and pick the Dvorak layout (or any other random layout you want). Once you’ve done that, use the drop-down above to set the default. You’ll probably want to flip over to the Language Bar tab and set that to hidden as well, so the tricks can't be figured out too easily.

5.Blocking The mouse senser

6.Give Them a heart attack by changing the wallpaper
