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!

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

[–] Talaraine@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks 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?

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.

I think in both cases it just cuts power.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but in one case the kernel gets to do it. Holding the power button on the computer bypasses this after 5s while the apple tablet needs a lot longer (it feels like at least 10s).
