Today I learnt that Shut down has not actually been shutting down my PC, but rather, Hibernating it. Instead, I must restart to achieve the full shut down effect.

I learnt this cause my Mother and her colleagues got in trouble at work from their IT for not "restarting" their PCs often... But they do Shut them Down. I responded by saying how stupid that was because a shut down achieves the same thing as a restart. At least, logically/intuitively I should be correct. But I did some Googling, and due to Microsoft's 'Fast Start Up' (which achieves 8-10 second faster boot up, as far as I can find) this is no longer the case!

I've gone and turned off 'Fast Start Up' on my home PC, and I notice zero difference in boot up, and a heck of a better/smoother shutdown experience. Why was this on by default against my permission and intuition on what I thought shut down was doing?

So help me out here... Is there really much of a reason to have Fast Start up on? I should be fine having this setting off now right? Why is it a default setting in the first place?

Genuinely curious.

Who the hell at MS decided 1 no longer = 1, but instead, 2!

I've gone and turned off 'Fast Start Up' on my home PC, and I notice zero difference in boot up, and a heck of a better/smoother shutdown experience. Why the heck was this ever on by default against my permission and intuition on what I thought shut down was doing???

So help me out here... Is there really much of a reason to have Fast Start up on? I should be good having it off now right? Wtf Microsoft.

So I've discovered everything now on the rumors... I'm up to that point in the game where I have a good idea of what to do to proceed to the end, but I just gotta put it to action.

But I'm also nervous of time. And this is where I need some hinters... Is it okay to take my time on the final stretch? Or is it a bit of a rush? Adrenaline kicks in like I'm fighting Runescape Jad back in 08.

Going into >!the Ash Twin project, I already felt to rush of adrenaline.!<It was my second time here, so I didn't need to bother reading all the text. >!I didn't have time the first time to 'make my delivery' past the angler fish.!<>!As before, I hit the gravity and grabbed the core thingy!<but here's where my adrenaline/rushing ruined me... I realized I must >!wait for the teleporter to activate again... and so I went and played with gravity.!<

Long story short, I >!switch gravity back on, SLAMMED into the outer-ground area, and was on a wild chase trying to get back onto the platform (never realized it rotated till I was outside of it)... I manage to reach the gravity again, switch it off, get back up, and switch it on again... but then I'm FLUNG around and smash dead into the platform... I get the death scene of credits.!<lol

Anyway, I know none of that was necessary... I could have just been patient... But it has me wondering this question (which is also the TL;DR):

TL;DR: Is there much rush for time on the final stretch, or is there ample time to do what I must? Can I silence the adrenaline?

Surely it's a >!pretend ending? !<I just>! broke space and time!<at the >!High Energy Station!<>!by experimenting with the !<>!black hole and white hole!<...

I'm both amused and perplexed. That isn't... the end... is it?

Probably been mentioned here already, but couldn’t find it searching…

Why the heck is the Bike/Scooter lane on Queen Street not clearly marked, and very easily confused for pedestrian walking zone.

I’ve seen plenty of people (especially potential visitors to NZ) strolling down it knowing none-the-wiser. Even had to inform my Mum today not to walk on it, as she never realised either!

Furthermore, we almost got bowled over by bloody scooters! It was a green light pedestrian crossing + Zebra lines… bloody scooters coming ZOOMING by in their lane with complete ignorance and disregard for us trying to cross!

Bloody well colour the lanes, add some lines, and signage! Simple isn’t it?!?!,

Anyone travelling from the city on Southern-line this afternoon will know there’s a fault at Ellerslie, so Southern are all being redirected via Waitemata express straight thru to Otahuhu on the Eastern Line.

Sitting on this very train, I can see people looking around confused.

The entire Southern Line “Next Station is <enter southern line station here>… we’re now arriving at…” plays thru as we pass by (not stopping) other stations on Eastern Line.

Why, with our technology nowdays, must the ENTIRE track play thru??

We then get to Otahuhu and it’s not entirely clear if one needs to stay on or hop off to change trains. no messaging given. Not even a simple “stay on this train if you are continuing South”.

INFACT, a worker at Waitemata told me to hop off Otahuhu to continue south. They were wrong. I stayed on and we continued all stations after.

there was ONE message given at the start of the journey, but in typical public transport fashion, it was muffled, quiet, and easily missed.

i’m baffled how poor the communication is on the train! It’s really a simple matter to inform people more over speaker, is it not?? at least turn off the intercom telling us Southern line stations when we’re redirected on Eastern!

Incase Redditors hate on this post later: I acknowledge AT cannot help the fault that occurred (truck hit bridge?). And props given to the express train via Eastern - great solution! Just bloodywell give us better communication as we all sit confused and stressed (after a busy day of work) on a train going who-knows-where!

TL;DR: We have a thing called technology. Use it to turn off irrelevant station intercoms and to communicate clearly with people on the train. :)
