@brummie_steve @wowstartsnow You had to wait for the disks to park, or you'd damage the platters..

@wowstartsnow I didn't realise this was for hardware that couldn't turn itself off... So you had to turn it off at the plug?

The Windows “Safe To Shutdown” screen was implemented for users to know when they could safely turn off power to their PC, if it ran on hardware that couldn’t do so automatically. It has been present since at least as far back as Windows NT 3.1 build 297, from 28th June 1992. 🌃

@thomann Hi, some feedback for you, it's super hard to read the tiny voucher code text when a gift voucher is printed out. Could you make it x10 bigger?

Richard's meeting value rule: The value of a meeting is inversely proportional to the number of attendees. Ironically low value meetings are the most costly.

TIL that despite designing several of the world's most iconic electric guitars and basses, Leo Fender never learnt to play 🙁
