## Community notes

**Poslovitch** — 2020-04-22

On **Arma 3 1.98.146303**:
- As specified in the description, if the mission's date is not set to 2001-06-22, this function won't have any effects.
- If the mission's date is set to 2001-06-22, there is no need to call this function on Old Laptops. The hold action is already applied to them on mission start.
- This function does not have any effects on (open variants of) modern laptops (Land_Laptop_unfolded_F, Land_Laptop_device_F, Land_Laptop_Intel_01_F, Land_Laptop_Intel_02_F, Land_Laptop_Intel_03_F), except for Rugged laptops (Land_Laptop_03_sand_F, Land_Laptop_03_black_F, Land_Laptop_03_olive_F): the hold action is available and, when completed, causes the laptops to become graphically glitched and to use the Easter Egg video as their textures.
