@catsalad @Mustardfacial don't forget to hold the turbo button while you crank it, and back off just as the bootloader catches.
@rotopenguin @catsalad You only have to do that in the winter. Air is usually warm enough in the summer that it'll fire up right away.

@catsalad When I was like 12 or 13 I modified one of those locks to be the power button thinking it would be so cool to have a computer that could only be turned on with a lock. The rest of my family unfortunately, didn't think so.
@Mustardfacial @catsalad I still keep stumbling over these.

"surely malicious actors don't know about screwdrivers, do they?" -
@catsalad Yes! Exactly!
@Mustardfacial @catsalad Fun fact: this does actually exist.
Yes, there are cases where the power switch is rigged to a key. I guess for businesses that want their systems to never ever be shut off or something, lol. -

@catsalad Little known fact, the "turbo" button turned on a special fan that injected gasoline directly into your CPU for added speed.
