My brother could crash Windows 3.1 in Standard Mode just by mashing the keyboard in some particular way that I could never reproduce. Never took more than 10-15s of elbows on keys before we got a BSOD on an otherwise stable machine.
- wastholm 7y agoA few years ago I let my young son examine a keyboard connected to a Linux computer with a locked screen and in a few seconds he showed me my first kernel panic. I never figured out how he did it.

- WorldPeas 7y agoCompletely unrelated, but you just brought back some wonderful memories of the elementary school computer lab when all the students would mash the shift key when they wanted help, so when the whole class got stuck, there would be a chorus of motherboard buzzers. Good times.
