The only reason has wider device adoption (if that argument can even be made) is because manufacturers were given incentives for a long time to ship drivers for Windows. As it became the defacto desktop in corporations, they were further incentivized to ensure their hardware or peripherals had drivers available. The tides are turning a bit more towards Linux again, with every hardware manufacturer who even cares to dream of selling their products to the largest buyers (data centers) provides extensive support for Linux, because that’s what the backbone of everything really runs on anymore. Windows isn’t even a contender in the DC space in comparison, so much so that the entirety of Azure runs on Linux, and Microsoft has their own Linux Distribution.

It says it supports up to 4.8 grams of force. More than enough to pop a lid or door open. Other option is a solenoid relay that definitely will, but that’s not going to fit very cleanly behind a dishwasher and cabinet setup.

xdg-open is responsible for handling those. You just need to change what it thinks the default might be: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1ha9czj/setting_default_browser_for_opening_links_with/

Define “finished”. Most newer washers have an indicator light that says when it’s done. Older ones say they are done, but rely on an extended period of time AFTER the actual cycles run to allow the steam and heat to dissipate and help dry out the inside.

If you just want to open it after a specific amount of time without finding a way to integrate a sensor into the mix, I bet you could make this work if you mount it right against the door to push it open. https://www.switch-bot.com/products/switchbot-bot

Lolz, are you joking?

…and the rest of it?

Also…do you know what the word “animosity” means? This ain’t that.

Ever dealt with packaging files? You tell them where to go. It’s a simple manifest that says where files get unzipped and put on the filesystem.

You have zero idea WTF you’re talking about.

Then you package them differently to address the naming. It’s not rocket science.

If there are two people named “Tom” in a room, do you just give up and walk out of said room because it’s impossible to find a way to communicate in a room with two people of a similar name? No.

Love Osnews. Been reading since the 00’s.

This is a dumb explanation and take by somebody who is stuck in their ways, and refuses to understand modern permissions systems.

The location of a binary executable matters less now than ever, and it’s location on the filesystem doesn’t matter whatsoever. It’s up to whomever packages and nothing more. As long as it’s documented, it doesn’t matter.

Try running sudo shutdown -h now and see if it still does the same thing.

If so, try forcing ACPI actions like so and see what happens: https://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer#127022

I know this an ACPI tables issue, but there’s a wide variety of debug steps to figure out which one.

Have you updated the firmware recently? https://us.starlabs.systems/blogs/news/firmware-update-announcement-25-05

They’ve fixed a lot of ACPI and power issues with various models, including the mk7: https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/issues/139

What’s the model of the laptop?

Pro ably some ACPI issues. Have you changed BIOS settings or anything else recently? Did it previously work fine?

There are Linux tricks for these models of Surface devices. Go for that.

Rsync will always be faster than SMB. NFS will be faster than both other options. It’s a protocol thing. You should tune your SMB config properly though, as there are tweaks that can benefit throughput greatly.

Building an interface for HA of any kind is a big lift. You have to translate every inference to a set of applicable actions in HA. It’s like building an entire AI. You can’t just say “Here’s some natural language, figure out how to do the thing”.

Nobody is gatekeeping, it’s just a larger task than you’re seeming to understand. Like “Can someone build a new engine for my car?”

Fedora is its own thing, and unless IBM was RHEL to die, they have to keep kicking resources in, because the majority of non-security contributions come downstream from the Fedora community.

Yuuuup. Newb fanboys.

Lol. So wait…you want someone to create a prompt interface for your HA for free from Lemmy? That’s a hard sell or ask lolol.

May wanna ask some other AI thing to do it for you.

This game was an MMO, and the servers have been shut down for 10 years. There’s no way to play it.

There does seem to be some Open Source project to recreate it though: https://nightriderz.world/
