      IT people casually telling users to turn off all the breakers for 30s

        To be fair, I do IT for convenience stores. Sometimes we have to reboot pumps or similar, and all we can do is have them throw a breaker for 30 seconds lmao

    • unless you do it from a running system (which you shouldn’t, unless you want everything corrupted, that won’t help. windows has a feature called fast startup that only kinda shuts down your PC, even if you unplug it, so things that would get fixed by an actual reboot wouldn’t be fixed in your case

        Thankfully, I’m not on Windows.
        But the switch is only to make sure it is off. Of course I poweroff before that.

        Trust me! I really do!
