So all that effort to spare 1 watt of “suspend” power? Running home assistant all day long probably burns 500x that power.

I have to be missing some detail because that sounds absolutely insane in my head.

Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life “hacking” with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

Easier to install Linux than Windows.

They made the fatal error of expecting that anything Microsoft makes would work as intended.

I’ve successfully banished all Microsoft trash from my home network but I also work at an MSP all day while having “God damn it Microsoft” tourette syndrome 8 hours a day so I think I might become an evil villain if/when that goes live.

I uh I have good news

I have a cheap “remote” for my PC, so I rarely use it for media or couch watching, BUT

Take ~50 photos

Get home

Two or three taps
