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.

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

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.

Nononono... not like that.

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

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

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

5 painful seconds

It is our birthday!

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.

Laughs in AT standard.

Just wait til you have a laptop that wont turn off until you take it apart and rip the battery cable out. Its like an execution.

my old 2008 netbook is easy to force shutdown, just press it once and bam, no holding down. the buttons hard to reach tho (or you can always poweroff from bash/shutdown -s -t 0 from cmd)

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?

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.
I think in both cases it just cuts power.
