Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Open terminal, run shutdown /s /t 0.

    That should do a complete shutdown that windows can't wake itself up from.

    I just unplug my computer when I'm done with it. That way it doesn't update.

    It makes a cool popping sound as my speakers and screen flash off.

    Accurate. Because mine won't turn on anymore after sleeping.

    As sucky as modern Windows is, all you have to do to avoid this bullshit is to shut down the pc at night or whenever you're not using it. That being said, half the time Windows updates, it tries to sucker me into subbing for Microshart 365.

    I agree with some comments here, hibernation/suspension has been tricky, I've always had minor bugs and like kinda major, screen.. lines? popping up and just not even working sometimes, welp. I suppose it's better knowing what's breaking than wrestling control between you and microsoft..

    [–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Mine just doesn't suspend/hibernate at all. Probably some dependency not installed, but I'm not assed to find out which one

    [–] CaJoasca_Baloon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

    Yeah I think it's going to show up in some log what exactly is causing that but I usually search what I'm supposed to do so.. do that if you have time I guess

    "My" in My PC means "Microsoft's". All the Windows PCs in this world are all their's.
