One of the oldest pieces of advice in the book: don't hold down the power button to turn off your computer. But is there actually any validity to this?

I just cut the power line outside my house whenever I want to turn off my PC and then I tie it back together when I want it turned on again.

No more neighbors stealing my bandwidth.

I like holding down the power button especially when the computer freezes. It feels like I'm holding a pillow over its face. Yes, now it's time to sleep!

We all have that one friend that switches it off at the wall while it’s still running games 😂

Back in school my computer class teacher taught the whole class to hold the power button until the computers powered off instead of logging out because it was "faster and more secure". Even as an 11 year old, I was baffled by his stupidity.

Fun fact: In Norway we call it "the Swedish button", because it's the stupid way to turn off your PC.

It has actually happened to me before. I was working on some school project at night and then my laptop just didn't shut down so I long pressed the power button to shut it down. The next morning, my laptop just changed as if it just had a freshly installed version of windows installed(even the wifi modem was not working). Luckily it was fixed and I was told that it was because of windows update. Never forced shut down my laptop during updates again

MAN I still remember being scolded for turning the PC off too early -- BY THE PC -- and having to wait for the screen that says you can flip the switch because they couldn't turn themselves on or off

As a child I always flipped the PSU switch when I heard my parents coming up the stairs while I was still on the computer 😂

That's what I did. PC stopped responding during alt-tabbing games. Nothing worked so I held down the power button. The windows or a driver got corrupted in such a special way that there was no option to fix it. I started suspecting it's a hardware damage but when I installed a fresh windows on a different partition it worked fine. Not fun.

Honestly, if windows abandoned NTFS and created/adopted a more modern file system with journaling capabilities, this problem would be avoided. Journaling file system cache all changes before committing them, preventing you from loosing data in the event of a power failure or hard off
