I miss having dedicated power and reset buttons, where you just press power and it immediately powers off, instead of the computer waiting just to be sure you're sure you meant to press the fucking button that is clearly labeled and out of the way to avoid incidents.

I don’t really feel any remorse though. It didn’t do what I said. It gets the consequences.

I said what I said, little shit.

I torture it by pointing its webcam at the wall outlet and forcing it to watch its own pull-the-plug execution.

I will be among the first against the wall when the AI revolution comes.

Hilariously accurate, especially in modern Window's systems. Like, you press it and it covers your screen with a 'slide this to shut down', which if we could do that, we probably wouldn't be using the button.

Instead of a 5 second press and done it's become more like a 20 second struggle to tell the PC you really mean it!

Slide this to shut down on windows?

Never seen that before. Is it dependent on touch screens? Work laptop uses win11

[–] Talaraine@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope, get it on every version of Windows 11 that I work with. You're supposed to use your mouse to slide it down on those. Crazy, huh?

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Huh. Wonder if it's controlled by gpo,

but then at the same time my works it dept is the most incompetent dept I have delt with in 30 years and are afraid to deviate from defaults while actively blocking dependencies the companies own software requires

Sounds like an iPad.

I think after like 5s something above the kernel kicks in on my PC and it's off in less than a second.

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

I think in both cases it just cuts power.

Best part is the noise it makes when the fans finally shut down, it is finally at peace.

And every computer has a different level of fight left in it. You just have to hold until it finally stops kicking.

Nononono... not like that.

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

For me it kinda feels like smothering a child with a pillow :/

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Haven't thought about rage comics in a long time, thank you.

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 18 hours ago

Ooooh, haven't seen this one in ages!

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have experience in this area?

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why? Are you a child in need of some smothering?

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Shh. Only dreams now.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, daddy.

(Sorry, it had to be said.)

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 1 points 18 hours ago

Shhh, no need to be sorry ;)

[–] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago
