If you also disconnect the power, just remember that this drains the CMOS battery in the motherboard. That’s okay, just know that it may help to replace it if your machine has issues booting, time resets, etc.

I really wanted to like Pentiment, but I gave up on it. Still happy I bought it to reward the cool concept.

My digital tv reciever cannot receive a large range of channels when a mini pc, in off state, is plugged in on the same switch. It works fine when the UTP cable is not connected, it works fine when the mini pc is on, also fine when the pc had no power at all. Distance between pc and receiver does not matter, neither does the configuration of cables in the switch. I’ve given up on it, but sometimes the issue disappears for months, and then comes back for a while.

In Dutch: ‘graftak’ is a beautiful way to indicate an annoying/terrible person. Literally: ‘grave-branch’, which sounds nowhere near as satisfying.
