This must be a day of computational misfortunes.
I booted up my hacking lappy, and all was fine until I started to navigate the net. I was getting certificate errors (Invalid certificate) on every browser and basically every website. Mind you, "Google" was one of them. Forget about adding exceptions, that was useless.
After a bit of troubleshooting, I figured what the problem was. Upon booting Into the BIOS, the time (clock) was dated back to "2014" (don't ask how or why, I have no Idea how It got there), hence It wasn't recognizing the validity of all certificates. I set It to the correct time, and all Is now functioning correctly.
@Skullmeat, I know how you feel. I did something very similar years ago. Sometimes It's best to simply leave things be.

I once tried deleting .dll files back in windows xp days to get space to play GTA vicecity. So after playing the game and restarting the PC next morning I was supprised

I used to make custom login screens for Windows XP a few years ago, and once I replaced msgina.dll with a corrupt version and locked myself out of my PC. Runtime error instead of the login screen. I could have fixed it by replacing msgina.dll with a stock copy, but I didn't know that at the time and just ended up reinstalling Windows. Another time, I used a Chinese XP UXTheme patcher and fucked the theme engine 6 ways from sunday because it wasn't designed for the English UXTheme...

Haha. Glad I'm not the only one to make noob mistakes.

Back 3 years ago when I first installed Linux, I DESTROYED my most important drive just by passing wrong parameters to the dd command, that moment was so depressing...
