99% of Windows usability issues would be fixed if Windows had the guts to add this button

Windows dialogue about failing to eject an USB drive, because an application is using it. Aside of "OK", a new button says "Well why don't you tell them to fuck off♪~"

I don’t fucking know why I can’t eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don’t know who’s lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

For 99% of computer users, if the GUI doesn’t have an option, it doesn’t exist.

Literally 99% of Windows tech support is

Have you right clicked on Windows menu, selected Terminal (Admin), then entered sfc /scannow and then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth? …ohhh shit you’re still fucked up - well, maybe you need to completely reinstall windows, well, here’s the page on how to do it.

That’s the difference with Linux. Your average user never uses terminal, and when they do, they find the tools suck.
