Figuring out how to print...nobody knows how to beat it yet, some just get lucky

Brother laser printers.

Was shocked when it randomly showed ip everywhere automatically, it showed up and worked on my fresh freebsd install, I thought shit was haunted.

It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform

I figured systemd is a 90s-JRPG boss with multiple phases taking over more and more of the screen.

You hold up a Slackware CD like some sort of vampires-and-faith-objects bit.

The shutdown button, a very anti climactic finale

[โ€“] over_clox 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Who needs a button?

shutdown -s -f -t 0

Edited to include the missing -s argument

I did get it right. I literally used that command in a Windows activation hack.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Start by using / instead of - like all other old build in windows comands then read the docs and find you need /p or /s or /r to tell it what to do

then /t 0 does nothing, /t 1 (or higher) actually sets and timer and implicitly sets /f as well

you'd know this if you had actually entered that command. Cuz that's the info it prints when you get it wrong

[โ€“] over_clox 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, you're both right and wrong at the same time. I missed an argument.

shutdown -s -f -t 0

Not /, it's -

I never suggested I was running Windows 11, this is for Windows XP. I just double and triple checked, it's not /, it's -

Love this Insert Credit type question

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Make your own, and don't be so professional about it.

William Gates retired, MicroShaft is now headed by Satya Nadella, who is apparently some fuckwit that's out of touch with humanity.

i do know that, Bill wasn't innocent either. I do like quite a bit of what he's doing, but back in the day that was a ruthless motherfucker.

You are aware that communism โ‰  capitalism โ‰  dictatorship right?

People (often brainwashed US citizens) throw that communism word around as if it's somehow bad.

[โ€“] whostosay 1 points 1 day ago

That was a legitimate answer
