A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren't designed to annoy you, they're designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.
But I can see why you'd want the power button to be a "stronger signal" than clicking Shut Down in some menu.
Until your toddler presses it and the OS just tosses all the work that you didn't save yet. It's good with a safeguard, and Windows will eventually force shut down after a timeout.
