I had a good LOL at this....
1. Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged in to a working power source.

That step is meant to apply to laptops, which work quite well when not connected to the wall via their power cord.

They have something called a laptop computer, you may have heard of it. It allows you to use one without it being plugged in.

Is the one keyboard at a time instruction targeted at Rick Wakeman? I hear he has two, or sometimes three, keyboards attached to his mac that he can type on simultaneously.

I guess you don't usually plug a keyboard into a laptop, but there may be a reason to.
I hate this stick.

I do, my laptop is connected to a monitor and keyboard and operates with the lid closed.

All of us do. Not all of us use them for incessant 120-word-per-minute noodling, though.

Jeez, condescend much?
In fairness, it hadn't occurred to me that a laptop user would be updating their aluminum keyboard and actually happen to have their battery run out in the middle of what is literally a three second update.
Considering that the vast majority of aluminum keyboard users are using desktops, it is still fairly hilarious wording to me.

You'd have to ask the artist who originally created them.

If there's a one-in-a-million chance it could happen, and a million people install the update, then there'll be some guy somewhere that'll get bit by it.

Actually there is only a 63% chance that someone will be bitten by it in this scenario.

Given your post was attempting to be condescending but failed, I wouldn't complain.
