Then you look at the uptime. 247 days. No longer have you been elevated. Now you’re the vilest of vile. You’re the user that lies. You just say what you think we want to hear, don’t you? Well, now you’re getting put on hold. For as long as your uptime was.
We have a running leader board for uptime. Servers don’t count.
That said, I’ve seen some people who think they actually are turning it off but the machine just enters sleep mode. I only trust
To be fair, I do IT for convenience stores. Sometimes we have to reboot pumps or similar, and all we can do is have them throw a breaker for 30 seconds lmao
unless you do it from a running system (which you shouldn’t, unless you want everything corrupted, that won’t help. windows has a feature called fast startup that only kinda shuts down your PC, even if you unplug it, so things that would get fixed by an actual reboot wouldn’t be fixed in your case
Yup this is exactly what I was going to post. Was in the industry for 10 years and call me pessimistic but the second they told me they’d already rebooted I’d check uptime.

shutdown /r /t 0Is everyone using kpatch then? Because uptime if you’re still running 3.12 is silly.
add a /f for good measure
I just press the power button/switch on the UPS/PSU/wall.
IT people casually telling users to turn off all the breakers for 30s

I’m remote so either I trust the user or push commands. I know which I prefer

Thankfully, I’m not on Windows.
But the switch is only to make sure it is off. Of course I poweroff before that.
…
Trust me! I really do!
Wouldn’t shutdown /p be faster?
/a /A Pleeeeease Haiku?

looks nervously at my personal computer that has been running constantly for 5 years
Except when they’re not lying but windows by default has ‘fast-startup’ enabled, so every time they shutdown the uptime never resets.
