Remember this screen?

It’s time to take those painkillers for your back.

This was a significant advance imo. I am the first motherfucker to strangle a choking processor to death when it needs to be put out of it's misery, however, when things are normal, tell it to shut down properly my good man.

Hah! Jokes on you, I’ve had a back injury since 11, which was when I GOT the computer that had that screen.

That reminds me why I hate Windows

No computer had auto-shutdown back then. Strange thing to hate Windows for, as Microsoft doesn't make the hardware.

Knees, not back. 😊

I remember seeing this screen at the age or 3/4, after pressing some buttons. I was so scared I hid under my bedsheets

If you rooted around, you could find the file and tinker with it in a photo editor. Sometimes Windows got cranky if you did this and wouldn't display the edited result. Mine said "finally!"

Unless it had a virus.

I remember getting the message

"It's safe to turn off your computer now, maybe."

Marijuana virus.

Oh yeah! I need messages telling me it's safe to turn off my phone then maybe I'd spend less time on it

Don't forget to schedule that colonoscopy

After 'parkdisk' or 'shipdisk' right?

If you know what is Regedit and how to use it, you can set key value for that. After that PC will turn off only by button on power strip or power key hold

I never get it right, am I supposed to turn off the Turbo button before I shut down?

positivelad.me•35 days ago

Well, you don’t want to suddenly stop. Best to slow down first.

It’s time to get off your ass and start exercising, to support those smaller muscles that support your back and not have to keep chugging down pain pills
