I often find that misappropriating an out of context Paul Rudd quote arguably condoning sexual harassment works perfectly to describe the level of effort one should put in;

“Work 60% of the time, Alllll the time”

Any more than 60% effort and it becomes a drain, any less and management will look to replace. 60% effort is the sweet spot for surviving corporate life rather than succumbing to it.

I completely understand. I’d be skeptical too had I not seen it firsthand

I’m also an it technician with over a decade of experience, and I’ve seen this first hand, on multiple occasions.

I agree PICNIC is the goto in this scenario; it’s not like shutdown commands are new, so why would it not work as intended? it was my initial assumption when faced with these reports; but having seen this occur multiple times, I can confirm it isn’t. My running theory is it’s KB related, as the issue is intermittent by device (though consistent with an affected device… as in the device will exhibit this behaviour every time). It’s also unique to windows 11.

GP is a good shout. I see this issue occur intermittently at work; and whilst I haven’t checked our GPOs recently; I’m fairly certain the incident is intermittent amongst machines running the same policies (IE: a finance dept of 50 machines may see 10 exhibit this behaviour).

I’ve also seen it occur on home PCs. The only constant trait among them that I can determine is the OS (always 11). I just assumed it was introduced by some KB somewhere down the line or something like that.

“this has never happened to me, therefore this can’t happen”

Well, they have a point.

I feel like seagulls are the perfect method for ad delivery

It probably depends on how you quantify the input.

If it’s by volume, I’d agree that it’s probably cows or pigs. But if it’s by individual animal, it might be something smaller like chickens.

A lot of male chicks become pet food shortly after birth, which is what I think would skew the numbers.

Sure, they’re not designed solely for gaming. But they’re focused on graphical performance which is what makes them suited for gamers.

Pop! Os has a focus on graphical performance, with versions containing preconfigured AMD/nvidia drivers depending on the users build. To claim that gaming hasn’t factored into the decision to focus on graphics would just be silly.

Doesn’t really feel as though that pedantry has added anything to the conversation if I’m honest, as the question was what would be suitable for gaming, and you yourself also recommend 76?

System76 laptops are built for gaming.

They also created their own Linux distro called Pop! Os, which is designed around gaming, and fairly popular within the community. All their laptops come with Pop! os preinstalled

This is what jack Dorsey and Elon Musk were really referring to.

‘Could’ specifies a possibility of an event occurring, as opposed to no possibility.

For example, I could have rice for dinner, however there is no way I could jump to the moon.

When applied to the context of this conversation:

A person born in the 90s could have had their childhood affected by the recession in the 80s. A person born in the 50s could not have had their childhood affected by the recession in the 80s.

Could is only vague in the scope of probability; this is because it’s a confirmation of the possibility, rather than a defined probability.
