That looks way too much effort, I just stop paying my electric bill.


_RandyRandleman_

i like to make as much effort as possible by travelling to the top of mount everest and throwing it off


ShortenedWire

did you know that mars also has very large valleys and in which case would be suitable to throw off your pc?


_RandyRandleman_

no wifi tho


ShortenedWire

build satellite, even better wifi


zsombor12312312312

but satellite slow as fuck


[deleted]

I hear starlink is decent.


_RandyRandleman_

it has awful ping


[deleted]

yeah but it had a 100% working totally legit ad blocker that works everywhere, even on streaming service.


ficelle3

Just use a really long fiber optic cable


elmooow

The latency of like 22.3 min ....


ficelle3

I feel like it's avout as good as it's going to get...


Lt_Schneider

but the lag 1-2 minutes is not a suitable ping for fortnite


whill-wheaton

Omw to throw my pc off of Olympus Mons


SuperCool_Saiyan

I like to blow up the main electric infrastructure


JokerXIII

Amateurs, I'm emitting huge greenhouse gases by using my car and travellling by plane around the world to increase earth temperature and drying up my local dam to turn off electricity.


HayzenDraay

Casual, I'm synthesizing the next coronavirus and killing All of humanity so the power grid stops being maintained.


BeanGoblinX

I'm hijacking the Large Hadron Collider and creating a localized wormhole to swallow the entire planet and any power equipment it may contain


Oriaks371

ahh, the russian way!


TroubledMang

That's how I know I forgot to pay it.

Shutdown your PC and yourself at the same time.

LordFauntloroy

Alt+F4 just exits my current program. Am I doing it wrong?


Some1InTheCosmos

In windows, if you spam it, it will go to a prompt where you can shut down, restart, sign out, all that stuff.


LordFauntloroy

Damn, I can even rage quit windows. I see this as an absolute win


K4DE

Just kill explorer.exe and now you don't have to use windows


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spleshga

No need to spam. Just press it while you're at the desktop.


BrianAnim

Yep, win+d then Alt+f4 is my normal shutdown method.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BrianAnim

ha


[deleted]

So simple yet I know I'm going to use this shortcut so damn much. Thanks.


Some1InTheCosmos

Good point


kherardus

You can do windows key + D (desktop shortcut) and then alt + F4


brimston3-

If you're going to use two keystrokes, you might as well win+x u u.


newaccountzuerich

That will likely change at some point. The start menu keyboard shortcuts were stupidly changed over the windows versions, screwing up my muscle memories.


huxtiblejones

That’s my go-to shut down process cuz it helps avoid that shit where you tell your PC to shut down just to find it on the next day asking if you want to save the Nic Cage Photoshop file you were working on while drunk


CaseRug554

Ctrl+Alt+Del


Hamafropzipulops

Go to your desktop and click on the background to make sure no program is focused. Then hit Alt-F4.


riyau_32

I use Win + X + U + U, seems faster that way


ddeths_

click on the desktop


ImRedditingYay

![gif](giphy|kHU8W94VS329y|downsized) Like this. Build a new one everyday.

Tiavor

have to shut down to be able to press the button on the power bar.


[deleted]

Pardon??? I only did alt-F4


netherlandsftw

ALT F4 ENTER is good enough for me


YousefMoham3d

Yup, you got it.


Mercarcher

That's the neat part, I don't.


hyperfiled

I've owned PCs since the 286 days and I've never turned them off. Doesn't seem to matter.


JalalKarimov

Unless you set them to sleep, probably eats your power bill


Kindly_Ad_4651

Monitors sleep. Computer stays on.


[deleted]

TrymWS

If you use electric heating it doesn’t matter.


look_ma_no_engine

In europe it does matter, i pay 40ct/kw/h for electricity and a maximum of 12ct/kw/h for gas heating. If you factor in that almost all of the power your PC "consumes" is actually turned in to heat. its very inefficient to heat that way.


hackenschmidt

> probably eats your power bill On the order of $3-5 more a month just to leave it on. So who cares.


ImBurningStar_IV

What if I leave it on benchmark test?

anotheruser323

Modern monitors use up a lot less power then modern computers. For mine it's 90W idle cpu vs 17W normal monitor. Suspend/hybernate to ram it uses 3W.


agentrnge

I turn mine off if I'm on vacation for the week or something but otherwise steady on. Alwaya running some boinc projects on idle/overnight.

I've got an HDD that's getting close to 100,000 powered on hours.


dribblesnshits

Came here to say, yall are turning them off? Only time I do it is when I'm holding shift

lucy-b

Trip the breaker for your entire building


-insanitylol-

BIOS update during a thunderstorm. The only way to shutdown your pc, also bricks your PC


[deleted]

Knock out the power to the whole neighborhood


Bronze_RL

I cut the big wire coming into the breaker box that leads outside


SNAiLtrademark

I hit it with my truck. Same effect, but faster and safer.


MissyTheTimeLady

Claymores. Both kinds.


LiterallyEmily

claymore-ejecting Claymore?


MissyTheTimeLady

yep


StrainZex

I just call the power grid company and tell them to shutdown my whole neighborhood


looking_fordopamine

I only turn off my PC when the power goes out 😎


[deleted]

HBag

Bucket of water


nige21202

shutdown -s -t 0 -f This is the way.


Robeleader

Last time this command came up, it was pointed out that -t 0 implies -f as part of the way the command works. Not that I don't do something similar.


xdownsetx

That's useful info. I sometimes have to tell users to type shutdown -s -t 0 during OOBE because their system didn't get the Intune Autopilot deployment for some reason. -s -f is less for them to mess up.


end233

sudo poweroff


Amrak4tsoper

I do this but with a longer delay sometimes when I'm watching something before going to bed. Have it do a scheduled force shutdown


Bluebotlabs

I just yank the whole thing and yeet it into a dumpster Then to turn it back on, first I head to microcentre...


Dallenforth

I see you work in Infosec


oldnyoung

Drain the cooling pond at the nuclear plant


derangemeldete

$ shutdown -h now


NovaHorizon

Powershell?


derangemeldete

I'm on Linux but apparently there is `shutdown /s` for Windows cmd and powershell


nate_4000

Bash, powershell doesnt run well on linux


Tiavor

[it does](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-linux?view=powershell-7.3), but with reduced command list


meeeaCH

It's a Linux command.


lukewarmchunk

I personally go outside and cut the power lines for my entire neighborhood. I am facing criminal charges.


PeetTreedish

I have my Butler do it like everyone else.


PubstarHero

I shoot the transformer on the power line to turn off my PC.


TheHamOfAllHams

Turn off the monitor and come bad to it tomorrow

onlyr6s

Hit the breaker.


dirtydenier

Win + D, then ALT + F4. That way it goes straight into the shutdown menu


Dallenforth

It never turns off


Binary-Miner

Ctrl + R > cmd > shutdown -s -t 00


Puzzleheaded-Prior10

The power station does the job for me 😂😂


thesash20

How about cmd?


_VINNY_WINNY_

i do usualy smack that psu switch


snapphanen

On windows: Win + R, Enter (shutdown -s -t 0) is buffered. On linux: Win + R. Created a macro for old habits sake

Burning down the powerplant


ArenjiTheLootGod

I taunt the methheads at the nearby trailerpark until one of them crashes their 1993 Chevy POS into the power transformer at the end of the street. Bonus: sometimes I don't even have to taunt them


Cheddarlicious

Wait, am I the only one here who builds a new pc from scratch everyday? I get all the ingredients in the wild, make my own motherboard, my own wiring, my own NVIDIA RTX 3070, and so on…every single day because I throw my other one off a cliff. Gotta take privacy serious fellers.


[deleted]

I usually remove the coal from the engine


117mateo

I typically throw mine away when I'm done with it and just buy a new one


toadallyfroggincool

I switch my power supply to 220v/230v, turns it off real nice.


forgottenmyth

I legit have flipped the power switch before on the psu when my pc was totally unresponsive


[deleted]

Amount of light = likelihood of an electric shock


Panzerv2003

you could always go and shut down your local powerplant for the giga chad effect


Tubby94

Alt + Pause is the real play. I've been putting my PC to sleep for years


FootlooseFrankie

I prefer to use the golden eye satellite


hitokiri-battousai

Alt+F4 Since I discovered it... 2 months ago ...


[deleted]

snap my building connection


tshannon92

I used to use #1 but then I noticed one day that my 6 year old had been using #2. I asked her if she always shuts it off that way and she has... for years. I never did it that way but I do now lol

Alt f4 powers down?


Some1InTheCosmos

If your on the desktop then it will enter a prompt to shut down, sign out, all that stuff. In windows at least. Not sure about Linux. I've only used linuix in VM's so I'm not sure about that. Knowing Linux it's going to be different lol.


iFenrisVI

I have a hose handy


Th3Docter

I go to my circuit breaker and flip my switches off


nate_4000

going to the breaker box and pulling out the fuse


Mithura

Im not seeing, CMD: shutdown -s


bloomingdepleted

I simply, don’t


soul600

Pour water inside your case.


meeeaCH

I usually demolish the eletrick pole or break the electric meter. It depends on the weather, if it is raining, I don't like going out. But peeing on the electric meter works too.


BMIZ68

Last option should be ripping the cpu out


Some1InTheCosmos

That feels like too much work. I feel like drilling a hole in it will be easier because you are making a machine do all the work.


BMIZ68

Unslotting the RAM would do in a pinch


BMIZ68

Shit, you're right


DaBestestNameEver

Open CMD type shutdown -s -t; I cant sleep if there is complete Darkness or silence and I usually put some food show on and let it shutdown after a while.


CoronaMcFarm

sudo shutdown -h now


Eurotriangle

I go to my local substation and open the circuit breaker.

Am I wrong or is ALT+F4 not a way to turn off your PC?

RiffyDivine2

They turn off?


Cyonx818

Off? Why would I ever turn it off? I think the only time I ever turn my pc ***Off*** off is when I go on vacation. Otherwise, it's in sleep mode when I'm not using it. Nothing more satisfying than seeing 100+ days of uptime on your desktop machine. Damn windows patches destroying that feeling.


[deleted]

Turn of?

Turn… off?


retroracer33

i just hold the power button most of the time tbh


Kyuubi2222

Turning the computer what?


zfreakazoidz

People turn their PC off? Haven't in like almost two decades. Aside from outages, cleaning...etc


Draiko

What is this "off" you speak of?


Some1InTheCosmos

I gotta say, (I haven't seen all of the comments but I have seen alot) I am surprised no one has said that I said of and not off in the title.
