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 have always found the manual of the manual page two a bit scary.

The shutdown button, a very anti climactic finale

[โ€“] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 6 days 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@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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 -

Thank you. That just means I have more experience than you.

If I need to figure out floppy drives I'll ask

[โ€“] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thanks. I happen to have arranged Windows 3.11 to be live bootable from a single floppy disk. I call it WinFlop. Various versions of it actually, including a build with a taskbar and start menu.

I also made a companion disk, Diagnostic Utilities, that includes not only basic diagnostic utilities, but also CD, USB, and NTFS drivers.

I'll be around all week. I'd share a link, but not much point right now, the Internet Archive is still apparently down โ˜น๏ธ

[โ€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Cool! Let's hope the archive is remains up, and if not we've got a community backup project coming up

Love this Insert Credit type question

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.

[โ€“] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

That was a legitimate answer
