That’s the one thing I don’t like about Truenas. It technically can spin down disks, but there’s no way to force them. You can set the idle timer to 5 minutes, but then it constantly spins them back up again. Now I just power the entire system down with home assistant outside of the usage hours and I can power it up again with home assistant using wake on Lan.

A bit goofy, but it works for me

Great phone, kept my S9+ until 2 years ago. Upgraded because the battery was dead. Could’ve replaced it but wanted to switch it out anyways. Couldn’t go back anymore now though, that 60Hz screen is a deal breaker for me now

Yeah they flood themselves on startup, they are particularly unsuited for short drives

which can probably also be disabled by the savvy individual

You don’t need to be too savy to put a little piece of black tape over it

2009 was 17 years ago, they had so much time

How is that even allowed

But but but…China bad!! Obviously China isn’t perfect but they definitely get some things right.

And yes, propaganda works on everybody

The dev is already working on it https://github.com/spotiverse/SpotiFLAC-Next

Only dualboot with windows on a separate drive, that hasn’t given me any issues in the past 5 years or so

I feel most replies have never used those products and are recommending options which just don’t work well enough imo. I have a VM for Fusion 360, but it’s really not fast enough for day to day use. Things like wine just don’t work. You’re gonna have to suck it up and either dual boot, or run a VM with GPU passthrough to get hardware acceleration in your VM.

Maybe you can split your GPU for a VM but I haven’t figured that out yet

Edit: if you do dualboot, you can put all your stuff on a separate partition (documents, downloads etc) and share that between the systems so you always have access to your stuff

I believe sudo pacman without an argument works aswell

The boot entry was indeed messed up! Managed to fix it from a live usb

This ended up being the issue! Booted up a live USB, mounted the disk and ran

sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label “Fedora” --loader ‘\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi’

After rebooting it worked again!

Now to never plug a windows drive into that PC again…

Nope, there is only one sata slot. It should be there, but at this point nothing surprises me anymore. I’m just as confused as you are

I can’t select Linux in the boot options, that’s the problem

Is the boot record stored on the drive or on the laptop? If the former, it should be okay but I’ll check regardless. If the latter, maybe it got wiped by Windows?

Yeah that’s something I can try. I suspect that it is indeed Windows that’s causing issues, but not quite sure how yet. I’ll disable fast startup and see if it makes a difference

The drive is fine, as I can boot from it from my desktop. I’m gonna try booting from a liveusb, maybe it can tell me more

They’re baking this right in the package installer of android, it goes beyond play services. I have my doubts that this will pass in the EU

Tablets are kind of in the middle of nowhere in terms of functionality at the moment, bigger and less practical than a phone, while being less capable than laptops. Its a shame, because on paper they look pretty great and they are insanely powerful nowadays
