Shut it down. Shutting down.
(Shutting up?)

Telling a laptop to shut down is very different from telling it to shut up or just shut. Shutting a laptop doesn’t shut it down (at least, not by default).

Not if it’s plugged into a peripheral hub
Stupid fast boot.
Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!
If I close the laptop by lifting the bottom instead of lowering the top, is that also “shutting it up?” 🤔
Shutdown is one word though.
Welcome to the wonderful world of phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations.
There’s so many grammatical definitions for both words I feel like there is a logical combination that makes it not redundant. With that being said they do both have I wanna say the same transitional verb definitions but both might be post-derivstive of “shut down.”

Yeah, just shut works for either. It’s less so redundancy and more specificity.
If you think about it, there’s only meaning with a frame of reference. Shutting up or shutting down could be nonsensical in the Void, as many things would be, I imagine.

Doors and corners kid
Depends. If a room just has a hole in the wall, is it still a doorway?

So if I just kick a hole in a wall at a friends house, it’s ok to pee into it as well?
And I think you shut up a mountain cabin.
I’m into this. And the corollary. “Shit out” is redundant. Shit it out. Shitting out.
(Shitting in?) Makes sense in one context, but that’s a completely different context than that which shitting out is typically used.
We talking about the verb or the noun? I also have been look at the word “shut” too long and now it looks weird
Lay off the ganja, man
