Techie took five minutes to fix problem Adobe and Microsoft couldn't solve

From Catb Jargon file, "Some AI Koans"

> A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on.

> Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.”

> Knight turned the machine off and on.

> The machine worked.

Title is dumb clickbait, but if you need to deal with Windows and do not know what Fast Startup is and how it affects your reboots, worth the short read.

Not so dumb after all, then.

The title and the content are two different things.

So, it hits me that this will not work anymore :-)

It still works, it's just that clicking on the "Shutdown" button (without holding shift) doesn't properly turn off the computer any more. Have to be careful with your wording to avoid the user hitting this issue.

Now we could only get rid of subscription-only software, junky cloud features, intrusive advertising/telemetry/AI spyware, etc...
