What does Y2K Joke actually do during its diagnostic sequence?
Y2K Joke puts on an elaborate fake show:
- Simulates scanning and "fixing" your BIOS for Y2K compliance
- Pretends to test and repair your mouse
- Runs a fake monitor diagnostic
- Changes all letter Ys to Ks in the display text
- Plays audio that claims to detect a critical error
- Instructs the user to physically tilt their desktop computer on its side
None of these actions actually affect your computer in any way -- it is all for laughs.
