Was curious to see if I was affected.
Turns out I have it installed via F Droid so a non issue for me.
Just a reminder that there are alternative app stores for some things.
Not a perfect solution for all, but well worth looking into if you want so start sourcing things outside of Google's monopoly store.
Yep. There was an assumption 20 years ago when common switches were 100Mbps and running cat5e that you'd have to upgrade cable to get the next speed tier, 1Gbps.
It propagated wildly, but was always incorrect. Cat5e was very much capable of gigabit Ethernet by design.
It was only beyond gig that you'd need cat6, and even then at short lengths 2.5/5/10Gbe has a good chance of working on cat5e anyway (but don't do it).
High quality cat 5e would have done the job.
Original cables must have been faulty.
Some how I automatically read this in Greta Thungerg's voice.
How dare you!
This is verifiable in manufactures data sheets.
Efficiency at less than 20% and greater than 80% loads isn't great relative to in between those ends.
This is compounded by lower wattage PSUs being more limited with regard to features and benefits.
If you end up with a 650w PSU and your system idles at 80 watts for the bulk of a working day you spend long periods of time in this less efficient window.
We need to see some quality 300w to 600w designs come back onto the market.
That's some Total Recall shit there. Love it.

That's what anti islanding is.
Prevents power from going into the grid when it's down.
Way I read it is it puts surplus into the grid to keep you elec bills down.
800 watts isn't exactly going to set an outlet on fire.
Good police need good tools to respond to anything that could happen.
Imagine a 9/11 variation with an armed group instead of planes.
That's going to need a rapid and powerful police response. Armed forces are not an option with such short notice.
The real issue you should concern yourself with the the quality of the police themselves, not the tools they used.
I'll back you any day on that front.
2 is fine.
I know where you're coming from, I use a closed notebook with external display sometimes.
I might need to be more specific. If the notebook is used as a typical notebook, and one closes it with the intent of putting it to sleep, once sleep has been reached an external mouse should not wake it.
However if you do toggle the power settings to allow the machine to function with the lid closed and/or machine docked then you do want to mouse to wake it keep awake the machine.
Okay.. then by that logic you're ok with America's defence forces being deployed against citizens?
I don't think you understand the meaning of multi purpose.
This used to be so much easier back in win 95,98,xp days.
There was a startup folder in the start menu and all you needed to do was drag what you wanted into it.
This is an example of something that got harder.
Had this issue for years over 2 machines.
One had some shit in the background the prevented standby.
Other was so simple it pissed me off.... .. the damn mouse jostling around in the laptop bag was walking it up.
I'm still going to point the finger at windows because 1) there should be a better tool for identifying what is keeping a system awake and 2) should be default for a mouse to not wake a portable machine who's lid is shut.
The most simple answer.
Ads or commercials are typically an interruption to the content I was wishing to watch.
Your post misses the entire point.
While us nerds can work out problems and use a terminal, it doesn't mean we're happy to spend our time trouble shooting instead of actually getting shit done.
And the fact that so many of these basic issues should exist in the first place leaves one with the sour taste that they have to hold the OS's hand forever.
If it has anti islanding at least it's unlikely to be a shock hazard.
That said are there any other concerns I'm missing?
A single birth can result in multiple deaths in the situation of murderer being born, so you might actually be right.
I'm a few years younger, and have also started down the road to be assessed.
Your post resonated strongly with me. Just normal life feels harder than things should be, but the Aussie attitude for blokes is "she'll be right mate, stop being lazy and don't be such a pansy"
I fight really fucking hard to try to keep my shit together and be 'normal' and I'm tired.
At this point I'll take any help I can get.
