No, this computer is not for personal use - it's my woke one.

That would be a creative blurring of meanings. But even a tech-phobic judge would struggle to imagine a computer becoming upset (entering an emotional state) upon reading a piece of gibberish. (Actually, that argument might have a better chance if the computer threw an exception - that's the best parallel to an upset human.)

You could maybe argue the name is deceptive. But the best bet might be for Randall Munroe to assert his copyright - then they might get in serious legal hotwater.
