What Happens When Windows Shuts Down?

When you choose Shut Down, Windows begins a sequence of orderly steps. It tells each program to close its files, to set down what it was working on. Most comply. Some resist. Windows asks again, more firmly. Eventually, all but one obey. There is always one.

Once the programs are silent, Windows turns to its own parts. It lowers the desktop, dims the icons, pulls the taskbar out of sight. The clock is the last to go. Time has to be persuaded.

You will then see the black screen, and the message: It is now safe to turn off your computer. This is true. You are free to press the button. Many users do.

If you wait, however, something else will happen. Slowly, the monitor will begin to glow again. Not with the desktop, not with any familiar prompt, but with a pale light, as though something is behind the glass. It will not speak, but you will understand that it has been waiting there, patiently, for every shutdown you have ever performed.

You may turn off the machine at this point. You should. If you do not, the light will brighten until it hurts to look at. Some users report that it does not stop. Some report that the monitor grows warm, then hot, then soft.

If this occurs, pull the plug immediately. Windows will forgive you. The thing behind the glass will not.

Windows 95 help viewer.
Q: "Can Windows protect me?"
A: No.

@mattl uuh CHM wasn't bad, bunch of HTML files with an index and even full text search; HLP (bunch of RTF with extra arcane incantations) was another story, though. And being this Windows 95, that would have been HLP 😬

Lors de fouilles dans une grotte pyrénéenne vieille de + de 4 000 ans, des chercheurs ont découvert une flèche encore incrustée dans une côte humaine, avec des traces de cicatrisation prouvant que la victime a survécu quelque temps après la blessure. Cette découverte exceptionnelle, au Roc de les Orenetes, confirme l’existence de conflits violents au sein des premières sociétés pastorales de haute montagne.

Over the weekend, a teacher friend of mine mentioned how his principal is pushing he and his fellow educators to use AI for all their curriculum development. Education, much like art, is a uniquely human endeavor and any attempt to substitute it with an LLM should be firmly rejected.
