- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

how is it dumb? literally just press ctrl shift esc
If your computer is locked up, you have to use ctrl-alt-del, with its menu of options including the task manager, in order to interrupt the current processes locking up the system.
Using ctrl-shift-esc launches the task manager program without a system interrupt, meaning it won't unlock the computer. Which is dumb, because why else would I be opening the task manager other than to interrupt some out-of-control process? I guess you could be using it to monitor or something else, but that's what I'm used to opening the task manager to be doing. I didn't even realize this until this comment.
Yeah, I use task manager way more often for monitoring than I use it for stopping processes.
When i was using windows i killed programs quite regularly with ctrl shift esc. I didn't need a full system interrupt but the programs weren't completely out if control.
I check ram and cpu usage and change startup apps or task priority just as much as I need to force quit.
then just press ctrl alt del if you want a system interrupt??? there's a reason they have bindings for both. it's not much harder, the task manager doesn't exist solely for killing some program that won't respond.
