What do I do when software tells me that I must not shut it down?

Believe you or not, it totally depends on my mood. There are several options.

1. I press and hold the power button for 6+ seconds.
2. I flip the switch on the power supply.
3. I yank the power cord from the power supply or wall outlet.
4. I remove the battery if the device is so powered.

Why? Because I own the damn machine. I am the property owner. The software is installed on my machine. The machine is on my premises. I own everything here, and I am the boss.

So, whenever a piece of software tells me that I should not/cannot/must not power the device off when I need so, I kill the damn thing because I can and want to.

This is a lesson in humility: if your software runs on someone's device, you obey the device owner's wish, not the other way around. Developers forgot their place, and I give them this reminder that they should heed, or.
