#THERES A TOM SCOTT VIDEO ON THIS IF YOU WANT TO HEAR IT EXPLAINED BETTER GO WATCH IT!!!! :DD

[ask-the-substitute]

hey, you seemed to have fun talking about the things you did while in the computer. do you have any more fun tech facts you could share with us?

Did you know you can't name a file "Con" in Windows because the "CON" file, short for console, was one of the files reserved for earlier DOS command line systems to call for interacting with connected devices? And because of backwards compatibility, making sure the CON file name is reserved is still there in modern Windows operating systems.

Which means if ol' Professor Concupiscence "Connie" McNasty ever wanted to shorten his nickname a bit more, he'd have some issues with Windows computers.
