I had a series of issues with my old tower that kept waking up and it was very frustrating.
Just curious, did you do a powercfg /lastwake to see what woke it from suspend? For me I think it ended up being a scheduled task, something like Adobe updater, though I don’t remember exactly.


I believe ARM will be the future, developers should not ignore it. Qualcomm has been doing the Snapdragon Elite processors in Windows laptops for a bit now, and they are quite snappy - there is definitely something there. LTT had mostly positive reactions to the Snapdragon laptops they tested, and Apple silicone Macs are just so insanely powerful.
I told my help desk manager at work that I would like to be the pilot user when we start getting Surface laptops with the Snapdragon Elite processors. My past 3 work-issued HP Elitebooks (860 G6/G8/G11) on Intel have all been so disappointing.


I can’t wait to get more games on my Epic deck, oh wait it was Valve who pioneered an incredible platform that can play AAA games on a handheld running Linux and made compatibility a reality for thousands of games.


How many more times am I going to see this same title before X implodes?


I’m not so sure about those sticks. The placement seems very low and it throws off the balance of the other buttons.


I believe this option just came to my Pixel 7 a few weeks back.


Ah I did not know about Resolve on Linux. Capture One would have been my biggest issue then.
Apple sure did do a great job with the M series, and the fact that their laptop line can have such impressive performance without looking like an alien space ship means that I can easily take editing on the go with the same media catalogs from my USB-C thunderbolt drives without running into directory mapping issues when I switch back and forth.


My aging windows tower and retired work laptop were both struggling to keep up with my photo and video editing. Linux asnt an option for Capture One and Davinci Resolve, and the writing was on the wall for what Windows is becoming.
Combined with the failures in Intel Raptor/Alder lake CPUs, I took an unexpected leap into the realm of Apple silicon with an M4 Pro Mac Mini.
Apple is not a perfect company, but this new machine processes video faster than anything I’ve ever used, and for the first time since the 2010s it has replaceable (proprietary) storage.
Hah, yes that was an odd placement. It seems like a non issue though.
I very reluctantly put a new mac mini on order last Sunday. I didn’t feel great about it but I was feeling done with Windows for a bit at least for home use.
I am a filthy hobby hopper and I spend most of my disposable income on these.
I remember as a kid going with my parents to vote. All of the folks with signs had to stand by the road instead of in the parking lot because of the electioneering laws. This was back in the 90s, so they have indeed been enforced for a long time. This was back before the red side was violent and unhinged like they are today, so I would say that electioneering laws are more important today than they ever have been.
Plex is excellent, and even if you prefer the features or interface of Jellyfin, you should never expose any application (Plex, Jellyfin, or otherwise) directly to the Internet. This should be non-negotiable. Plex solves for external access with the mobile/desktop apps and app.plex.tv by brokering client connections into your network without a NAT/PAT on your router or firewall.
For a music library, even a small one, tracks should have proper metadata applied to them and be stored in directories. Plex provides guidance on this here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/
My own strategy: I deviate slightly from Plex’s file and directory naming strategy, but it works perfectly. I start with high quality music, mostly from Bandcamp and process it through Musicbrainz Picard into ALBUMARTIST\YYYY - ALBUMNAME\01 - TRACKNAME.FLAC. Picard sets the metadata and ensures that there is an album cover image also.
Before moving the organized files to my Plex server, I run them through MP3Tag and overwrite any mismatched artist names with the album artist (getting rid of artist fields with 'feat xxxx artist’s). This is important for when I sync files in Media Monkey to my iPod, since the iPod would break apart albums with multiple artists. My preference is to keep them grouped together.
Hope this helps good luck 👍. Let me know if you want to know a decent strategy on movie backups also.


It’s public information transmitted over airwaves and several sites exist already. Flightradar24 and adsbexchange are the two I use, though Elon and Taylor Swift are far too boring to pay attention to when you can watch refuelers and jets instead.
I used it on an Android DAP to sync my music collection from my NAS after giving up on Folder sync due to its issues with new file detection breaking after a daylight savings time change. Synching was definitely more reliable but it takes ages to do the scan.


I’m definitely not a Republican. Sorry my take seems to have struck a chord with you, but I don’t think what I said was illogical.


DOCSIS 3.1 is pretty awesome. I heard 4.0 is in testing. Fiber (FttH) is similar to coax in that many subscribers are attached to one head end device. Subscriber throughput is determined by the number of subscribers and the speeds they ordered on the shared resource. Although fiber is leading in total capacity per OLT/PON, it’s not like coax can’t achieve excellence subscriber speeds by just deploying more head end devices with fewer subscribers on each.


I think a similar strategy is used with Federal flood insurance. When properties are destroyed multiple times I think they offer a buyout.
Very frustrating, I remember a similar experience, the command seemed to only show wakes caused by a device like mouse or wake on LAN.
If you still have the machine, check those scheduled tasks (like UpdateOrchestrator tasks) and uncheck “Wake the computer to run this task” in its Conditions tab, or globally disable Wake Timers in Power Options
