Badscrew@stokes can’t figure it out. Anyone to explain this joke to me?
(No I’m old enough to still remember how to load a CD-ROM driver in DOS)

@Badscrew @stokes I explained it to someone else up above. https://mstdn.ca/@cautionwip/110522989027116184
Actually, if you were loading a CD-Eom driver, you would probably have had to access both config.sys and autoexec.bat..I think? Been so long. Lol

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] No reason you would know unless you ever had reason to do any manual configuration of your windows system. In brief : autoexec.bat stood for “automatically executing batch file” It’s an editable file that lives in the root directory of a Dos/windows system and runs when the system starts. It’s used to control environment variables (like language, keyboard type/settings) and launch system utilities.
@cautionwip @stokes yes, both!
@cautionwip @stokes don’t see the joke in the picture still
@Badscrew @stokes I’ll break it down. :)
It’s a bat, sitting in an executive (which is commonly shortened in English to “exec”) office, with profit charts that say “dealerships” and “trucks”, signifying that the company it is representing is in the automotive industry.
“Auto”+”exec”+”bat” = autoexec.bat
😀
@cautionwip @stokes oh it’s a bat. Couldn’t see that, was thinking it’s some kind of sad alien
@cautionwip @stokes precisely
