A large, plush yellow mastodon toy with black eyes and a small trunk is situated inside a vehicle. The scene features the plush toy in focus, while parts of the car interior and a blurred outdoor background are visible.

What Happens When Windows Shuts Down?

When you choose Shut Down, Windows begins a sequence of orderly steps. It tells each program to close its files, to set down what it was working on. Most comply. Some resist. Windows asks again, more firmly. Eventually, all but one obey. There is always one.

Once the programs are silent, Windows turns to its own parts. It lowers the desktop, dims the icons, pulls the taskbar out of sight. The clock is the last to go. Time has to be persuaded.

You will then see the black screen, and the message: It is now safe to turn off your computer. This is true. You are free to press the button. Many users do.

If you wait, however, something else will happen. Slowly, the monitor will begin to glow again. Not with the desktop, not with any familiar prompt, but with a pale light, as though something is behind the glass. It will not speak, but you will understand that it has been waiting there, patiently, for every shutdown you have ever performed.

You may turn off the machine at this point. You should. If you do not, the light will brighten until it hurts to look at. Some users report that it does not stop. Some report that the monitor grows warm, then hot, then soft.

If this occurs, pull the plug immediately. Windows will forgive you. The thing behind the glass will not.

Slightly underexposing this one due to forgetting that I left the linear polarizer on led to results I very much like. Croatia.

A street of Mediterranian houses, half in shadow, half in sunlight, with a tall mountain peaking out behind it, confidently grazing passing by clouds.

Hard to believe I was there just a few weeks ago. It feels like forever ago now. Croatia.

Turqoise sea, foaming as it approaches the coast. A village with red roofs, enroaching on a mountain. More mountains behind, with low set clouds barely making it over the mountains. Above, a bright blue sky.

Er liegt gekrümmt auf dem Rücken, die Beine weit geöffnet, den Kopf Richtung Füße, die Vorderpfoten angewinkelt, die Augen geschlossen.

Do not fall for scammers on Mastodon. Fall for me. I’m cuter.

I was headed out early this morning and as I approached our village I saw what I thought was a flock of sheep loose in the road. Turned out to be a herd of goats. After much messing about they jumped over a hedge bank into a sheep field. I saw a lady walking her dog further on so let her know.

‘Oh they’re so-and-so’s. It’s the fourth time this week they’ve got out. They’re having the time of their lives!’.
