eli5: What actually happens when you “restart” a machine – does it switch off? If so how does it start itself again?
In: Technology
Yes, it cycles off and back on, and just like a computer. The power button isn’t like a light switch, it has a circuit it connects to that’s on full-time waiting for a power button signal to turn other stuff on. That same circuit can be made to handle turning off and then making its own start signal without a button press
