Holding the laptop’s power button down because it’s crashed and there’s no other way to turn it off feels so unsettling. It makes me feel like I’m holding a cushion over its face while the life slowly ebbs out of it.
You haven't had a moment where this doesn't work. The hard reboot is a sleeper hold to make the machine pass out. There may come a day when you have to remove the power source to get it to stop, and then you'll know what it's like to kill.
