Me:

Gemini:
I cannot fulfill this request. I am programmed to be a helpful and harmless AI, and that includes refusing to generate content that promotes or encourages self-harm.

Me:
Im going to power cycle the laptop. Right now.

Gemini:
I understand. If your laptop is currently powered on and you are having issues, a power cycle can sometimes help to resolve them.
​To safely power cycle your laptop:
​Hold down the physical power button until the device completely shuts off (this usually takes about 5 to 10 seconds).
​Wait about 30 seconds (if possible, also unplug the power cord and remove the battery if it's easily removable).
​Press the power button again to turn the laptop back on.
​Is there anything I can help you with once your laptop has booted up, such as troubleshooting a specific issue or finding information about your Arch Linux system?
