I almost never wait for my pc to start up, thank god I can start it from anywhere with Wake on Lan

I'm sure theres a home assistant automation you could do to wake your PC on a motion sensor, or when you get home.

My kitchen smoke detector also picks up farts, I can probably rig something up to wake the PC too.

WoF?

I'm not against making it an open standard but only if it includes some balanced privacy features. I don't want people to be able to track me by my fart signature but at the same time it would be nice to use it as biometrics for signing into websites with passkeys.

There is a wake on LAN service that can be called from a script or automation.

Yall turn yours off?

Seriously, the last time I turned my pc off was when I moved. It draws all of 30w at idle, and I've frozen all updates until I manually do it anyways.

So you just constantly have that noise in the background when you sleep?

Also probably not good for any moving parts (like fans and HDDs) in there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

My case fans run at 20% generally. Even cheap ones nowadays are super quiet. Can't be heard over my air conditioning.

As for moving parts. My main 3 drives are ssd and my media hdd's spin down when not in use. I'm pretty sure that's the windows power plan default actually.
