@existentialcomics the trick was: only turn off the CRT. 😉 They way it was "off" according to Mom. Follow me for other tips like: Keeping a backup NES controller hidden for when it's bed time and your parent takes away the one controller they know about so you can sleep.

@existentialcomics You still can do that, but computers these days boot a lot quicker. You can also leave them in sleep mode instead of powered off, in which case they'll be ready almost instantly. Except the monitor, which for some damn reason takes like 5 seconds to wake up now. WTF is that nonsense. Powering up an LCD and negotiating with the GPU should take microseconds, shouldn't it?

@existentialcomics@mastodon.social I know this is largely a joke, but it does kinda demonstrate the push by Big App to keep people away from tech literacy.
