This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.
If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.

I should have anticipated that this would exist.
Pretty much what I think whenever stumbling on any relatively unknown kink or fetish. The limits whack behavior caused by ape horneyness mixing with psychological complexes knows no bounds.
I always think ive seen it all, yet somehow the internet occasionally shows more.
Sadly... It already has :( sighs and lubes up dejectedly
I wonder how that will work on my other system with just the recycle bin and nothing else on the desktop
If you haven't, please watch the original, full video! It's hilarious from beginning to end...
I have - I think seventeen years ago, in fact. I do remember enjoying it, but I missed a lot (I was barely into my IT career and didn't even know what Boing Boing was, for example). Should probably rewatch it. Thank you for the link.
What the hell! ๐
Well, there is a longer version of the video that provides some context. It seems the caller is either trying to access or host a website (possibly both) and it has gone down, so they called tech support.
The icon arrangement was apparently done spitefully to the remote desktop by the person the caller replaced and the caller simply became accustomed to it.
Beyond that, I cannot resolve your query.
Nothing dates it more than the reference to Boing Boing.
You're not wrong there. I think this video was actually the first time I heard of it, but it's been a long time since the last time I did.
Pretty sure boingboing is still around
