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.
