拥抱黄金农场”

"Embrace the gold farm"
Wut?

Ugh. The same happened to our office DJ-P0N3’s at my former workplace.

All was good, dubstepping and wubbing... then they locked up!
Everything encrypted and displaying 拥抱黄金农场

We didn’t upgrade to Izzy Moonbow though.

Mine must have had a corrupt file, said something about Jake and State Farm.

Have you tried turning her off and on again?

She leaned to the other side and briefly lifted Vinyl's tale. She spent a few seconds squinting. “... … ...no roach eggs either, that's good.”

Oh, wow. I do not like that mental image.

Now I'm worried about unicorn-unicorn relationships. Who brings them to the shop if both brick at the same time? And who's the Royal IT Manager at Castle Canterlot?

Well..... This was dilightfully random find to day.

I was considering one of these. The Sweetie Belle model seems pretty good judging by how popular it is, but that's geared more towards children and I wanted something a little more advanced. Next, I considered a Trixie, but then I read the reviews and found out it often tends to catch fire. The Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer models are way out of my price range. Maybe I can check the used market for an older model. I heard the Twilight Velvets were pretty good back when they were new; I might be able to get a good deal on one of those.

So, who builds these unicorns?

Not recommended for bit-coin mining, they heat up too fast, and you gotta find somewhere to put all the dirt

The better question is what about the alicorns?
Was uniTwi modeled after Twilicorn or is Twilicorn the newest, most advanced model?

Have you considered bootleg units like a Kirin? Yes they sometimes randomly burst into flames but they were designed with that in mind.

I hate intrusive malmareware.

Damn unicorns, one part of the BIOS breaks and then it all breaks! :twilightangry2:

You know, now that changelings have been made available to the general public...

Oh, I almost forgot! A friend of mine said they got themselves a Tempest Shadow from military surplus.

“Pffft. Hardly.” Derpy waved with a friendly chuckle. “These things happen to unicorn girlfriends all the time. You should see how many times Bon Bon comes in to replace hers.”

Sheesh, considering that it's Lyra, I'm surprised Bon Bon can get the chance to ever leave the repair shop, as I can only imagine what Lyra's track record for repairs must be like! I mean, might as well just move into the shop entirely at that point! :rainbowlaugh:

Assuming they're all robots opens a huge can of worms involving property rights, civil rights, free will, and Megacorn Faust knows what else (just for starters, if they own each other, and Octavia changes Vinyl's abilities and preferences, how does she know that her decisions aren't dependent on changes made by Vinyl the last time she broke down? The bottom of the rabbit hole keeps receding, man.)

Termites are a true problem to many a home owner.

“The system will let us know.” Derpy fished around behind the counter, then pulled out a lengthy usb cable. “Thankfully, I've got everything pre-loaded on this here laptop, all thanks to the World Wide Whinny. Now let's see if I can remember how this goes... ah—right~”

Pfff hahaha that one got me

I like smart derpy and the overall idea :)

Let’s see… Rarity models are rather high-maintenance and tend to have particularly dramatic breakdowns.

Moondancers are reasonable Twilight substitutes if one doesn’t need all the power.

I’ve encountered one or two references to a “Sunset Shimmer” model being in a similar class with the Twilight or Starlight, but can’t track down anything solid.

11201894
That's because the Sunset Shimmer model is region-locked. It's not available in this country.

Earlier today, I saw a Mistmane at an antiques show! I didn't know there were any of those left that were still in working condition. I've only ever seen those in museums. The guy said his wife has a working Starswirl as well, but she couldn't make it today. I've seen replicas, but a genuine original? That's incredible!

Sadly, the show was cut short when some jerk decided to show off their Discord. Didn't even have a permit for it...

Based on the yellow on red, I'm assuming Chinese communist propaganda?

Ah. The male lines…

First off, avoid the Flim and Flam units at all costs. The convoluted purchase plan and over-complicated warranty are borderline-fraudulent and simply not worth the trouble.

The Blueblood has a reputation for being even higher-maintenance than a Rarity while lacking the latter’s charms, although I’ve recently run across some suggestions that he can be quite useful once you come to understand his quirks.

It’s been said that a Fancy Pants can be a solid investment if you can manage the steep initial cost, but more recent reports indicate a mild abrasiveness under some conditions.

And, of course, the Shining Armor is very much a counterpart to a pre-upgrade Twilight, with comparable list price.

I bet Snips is the equivalent of the Phillips CDI or something. (I know consoles, not computers.)

Okay I've recorded reading this for the Audiobook version. There's gonna be an opportunity for a detailed soundscape to craft for this.
I've even looked up the Chinese at the end. Gonna try to pronounce it.

Nah. It was hijack-ware.
Our office computers DJ-P0N3’s had filenames overwritten with hanyu, and the contents were unreadable.

Our IT person Derpy Hooves made a house call and cleaned the computers put DJ-P0N3 on a better diet.

It wasn’t as bad as the other time when our DJ-P0N3 contracted ransomware.
She lost a few days of memories as Miss Hooves had to roll her mind back to the previous week’s backups.

I'm not really looking for a male one. Besides, isn't Shining Armor a military unit? I don't think it's been approved for the civilian market.

I've heard quite a bit about the Sunbursts, too. Apparently, the software has ridiculous levels of compatibility, but it doesn't have the hardware specs to actually run most of those applications effectively.

Absolutely adore this fic, its got a great balance of everything! Humor, randomness, innuendo, everything! A duo like Vinyl & Octavia is just hard to pass up on! Hope ya didn't mind, but I couldn't resist making a reading of this wubtastic fic of yours!

Audio Linky!: https://youtu.be/K4Dt7sIrazc

Hmm... This looks like... *reads authors name* yup, that checks out. Always a pleasure to read your shenanigans.

拥抱黄金农场 seems to be a wonky translation of "The Golden Farm of Cuddles".
"Embrace the gold farm" is also an acceptable translation but doesn't make sense in context. not that the first makes sense in context either but it does in skirtsian context

And for the French, "Mother of God! It's the chicken of the devil!"

What a fun story!

That was clever and hilarious! Many of the comments are awesome, too. Let me see if I can come up with something....

My former roommate left me with his old, non-working Twilight Velvet. I replaced the motherboard, cleared the browser cache, and installed a few updates. Now, she's good as new! She gets along great with my neighbor's Pokey Pierce.

It's too bad the new generation Izzy Moonbows are so darned expensive....
