10 interesting April Fools jokes for tech people

A few simple tricks that will drive your friends crazy during the April Fool's Day. It is very suitable for technology people. Take TipsMake.com to see if in April this day you can play 1/4 joke to troll your friends.

1. Google starts April Fool's Day with 'treasure map'

1. Turn up the desktop

This is a pretty simple trick. For Windows, just press CTRL + ALT key + down arrow key ( replace with the up arrow key to return to normal desktop ). For MAC , open System Preferences and click Display while pressing and holding CTRL + Option key, a Rotation menu appears and you can choose to rotate the screen 180 degrees.

2. Disable mouse

Also a simple trick for you to be lazy. Just use a piece of tape and paste it under the reading eye of the mouse. This is an upgraded version of the previous " steal the ball " joke when there were no optical and laser mice.

3. Screen broken

Not that you will smash the screen of your friend's smartphone, but just a simple application that you can make the phone just like falling from the 10m floor to the ground. You just need to find broken screen wallpaper for computer, Android or iOS and install, then see what your reaction will be.

4. A 1/4 joke with the mouse cursor

Go to the Control Panel, navigate to the Mouse section, then you can change the cursor icon from the arrow to the hourglass or rotating circle image. When your friend uses the device, they will think that their computer is loading something, while in fact it's just a normal mouse pointer.

5. Bluetooth headset

If you have a wireless headset with Bluetooth connectivity, you can do this simple joke. Borrow their phone and then connect to your headset. Then, whenever a call comes in, you can answer with your Bluetooth headset. The following scenario is up to you, but do not joke too much because it can cause unpredictable consequences.

6. Turn off the device when opening your favorite application

It will be a big inhibition if every time you turn on your computer, plan to go to Chrome or play DotA, the computer will immediately turn off the 'spare'. What you need to do is choose the most used favorite application. Click on the right mouse button and select Properties, in the Target box, copy the following code: % windir% system32shutdown.exe -r -t 00 . As a result, every time the application runs, the computer will be shut down.

7. Change the keys

Just go to Control Panel , select the Languages item, then click Add and choose any language you like. The advice is that you should choose the Romanian language, because there are only a few letters that are different from the ABC alphabet, so the person who is trolled will be very hard to know what's going on.

8. Screen freezes

This is an old joke, but it always works on April Fools' Day. Initially you need to take a screenshot of your desktop, then place it as a wallpaper. The next step is to put all the icons outside the desktop into a folder hidden at the bottom. When your friend comes back to use the device, they still see application icons but can't press it because it's simply a photo.

9. Threatening ghosts with external speakers

If your friend has a speakerphone, you can take advantage of that to have an interesting joke. Connect your phone to the speakerphone, then play some devilish screams to scare your friend.

10. Adjust screen brightness

This joke can be used with colleagues at the office or in the same room with friends. Every time your friend exits the room, go to Control Panel, then adjust the brightness a bit and the contrast increases slightly. That's about 4 to 5 times and they won't realize that their screen has changed abnormally ever since.
