I’m impressed you kept your composure through all that. Holy shit, what an asshole.

I always forget that find is that flexible. Thanks.

I think I’m just going to keep an eye on it and see if it happens again, since this is the first time it’s ever shut itself down unprompted like this. My cat has also figured out where the power button is and likes to press it occasionally, so unless it happens again I’m just going to chalk it up to that. Might replace the PSU just for good measure, since it’s getting kinda old and was made by EVGA, about whose reliability I’m entirely ignorant.

They were rebranded something generic like “Dell Pro” or something for a while.

That’s the one, thanks! It was driving me insane trying to remember the name.

Back in the early 2000s, there was a desktop interface that explored this concept. Your desktop was displayed as an actual 3D desk, and you could stack files on top of each other, smack them into each other, etc, all with physical properties applied. The name, unfortunately, escapes me, though.
