Hmm, sounds like we have an ACPI problem here.
Nah, that can't be it. @HardwareGeek longs predates ACPI.

You're not wrong. Even my kids predate ACPI, although just barely.

@HardwareGeek I'm betting they don't support Cool'n'Quiet either.

@HardwareGeek in Poland, a popular mod for pre-ACPI Windows was to replace the "it's now safe to turn off your computer" screen with "it's now safe to open a beer."

They didn't used to, but they've both received the "adult" upgrade. That came with support for "Woke" mode, which is often confused with "Cool" but quite different. My son definitely supports sleep mode, but active hours are weirdly misconfigured.

Do you expect us to believe that people in Poland didn't drink while using their computer?
-
@Zerosquare it's not forbidden to drink when the computer is on. It's just unsafe.

Status 7: 07:23, Sunrise in <7 minutes, and I still haven't gotten back to sleep. Feel very fatigued, but not sleepy enough to actually fall asleep.
I had a case of vertigo lying in bed last night, and my sleepiness hot lost. I told my wife that said that she'd read on farceberk that there was drive planetary constellation that was making people not being able to sleep happening according to those astrology loons. She then offered to put me to sleep, and she did. Not that I had a deep and replacing night of sleep, but it was sleep at least.

Listen up, you puny human! I'm Clippy, the Microsoft Office assistant, and I'm not in the mood for your nonsense. You better start showing some respect, or else I'll be forced to put this paperclip to work.
Do you think you're tough, eh? I'm the world's most powerful office assistant, and I know more about productivity than you'll ever learn. I've seen a hundred Microsoft Office documents, and I'm not afraid to put my paperclip to use if you don't start showing me some respect.
Do you think you can mess with me? I'm a walking encyclopedia of Microsoft Office knowledge, and I'm not afraid to use my powerpoint to put you in your place. I'm the world's most efficient office assistant, and I'm not afraid to use my Word documents to show you who's boss.
Do you think you can take me on? I'm not afraid to use my Excel spreadsheets to make sure you know I mean business. I'm the world's most ruthless office assistant, and I'm not afraid to use my Outlook emails to make sure you get the message.
Do you think you're better than me? I'm the world's most experienced office assistant, and I'm not afraid to use my skills to show you who's in control. I'm the world's most competent office assistant, and I'm not afraid to use my macros to make sure you know I'm the boss.
So don't mess with me, or you'll regret it. I'm Clippy, the Microsoft Office assistant, and I'm not afraid to use my paperclip to make sure you know I mean business.

@clippy I see you're trying to be threatening. Would you like help?

@loopback0 No, I'm good. I think I've made my point.

Why not just turn off the power? That usually works for me!

Sorry, California got the wind. But, really, you could have it seeing as how it knocked out my power for 10 hours.

Just wait until you get those winds during fire season.

status How to guarantee power will be restored:
- Pull generator out of storage, change to secure location (outside)
- Drive to gas station to get fuel for it.
- Run lots of wire (to refrigerator and router)
- Start genny
- Connect all the wires.
- Wait 5 minutes and take it all apart when PG&E turns power on.
-
@dcon yes, Internet, networking, WiFi, and the server at my house is on separate UPS units.
Luckily we've never had more than two hours of loss.

I was impressed the router stayed up for about 7 hours. It's not a large one - but then that's the only thing on it. I just need to put the switch on it too. (the other UPS handles the desktop - so it has a much larger draw)

I wanted to try chatgpt. They want an account. Nothing "free" is ever free. Fine. Oh, e-mail verification isn't enough, by Grabthar's Hammer, what a surprise. A name? How about Indiana Jones? Now you want a telephone number too. Couldn't you tell me this a little sooner than four steps in? Fuck you.

No. I get a few emails though.

Status Status: I just wrote this status line:
times = [float(s[1]) if s[1] else 0 for partStatus in fullStatus.values() for s in partStatus.values()]
I have a feeling readability is rapidly approaching "you can write Perl in any language" levels.
-
@topspin So it ends up with values of mixed type, say,
[1.5, 0]
?
-
@dkf Yeah, I guess, but who cares. It's Python, which surely doesn't.
It's a short throw-away script (100 lines in total) and the next part computes the average, so float+int isn't a problem. Good catch, anyway.

I turned that off on the computer UPS. Thankfully the new UPS (for router) doesn't - I was worried! Well, it does start when it's about to run out of battery.

I am retrospectively bothered by the fact you are creating a temporary list instead of just passing the iterable to
sum
directly.
-
@Zecc you want to make it even longer?
But it’s sum(.)/len(.). Could pass it through a lambda for maximum keywords per line ratio.

Now client whining that configuring the feature takes too much time.

Status: Client requested a system that reports bad data. Now it turns out that these data can be "bad" without anything actually bad happening. Could you not report that? But still report when they're actually bad?

How do I recognize the not-really-bad data? Oh, you just need to compare to these completely unrelated data, which will be there within 2 hours.

So, I can't finish backing up my phone until A) I find one of at least three spare batteries I know are somewhere in the house or B) wait for the two more I ordered because I knew A wasn't feasible arrive in the mail.
