minus-squaremhz (ex lemm.ee)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoCant you just assign a different action to that power button instead of messing with it internally?
minus-squarevaionko@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoYou can for a click, but no way for the long press, as that’s handled on a lower level
minus-squaremhz (ex lemm.ee)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoYou got a point. Cats are sneaky 😅
minus-squareSaber_is_dead@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoyeah what if cat does a sudo shutdown -r now then we’re really in trouble
minus-squaremhz (ex lemm.ee)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoTaht’s too, but that would still be better than biting the cables.
minus-squarehomik@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoThat should recover. A sneaky cat will systemctl reboot --firmware-setup. Or just run a cpuburn to ensure that temperatures will stay at cat levels.

minus-squaretomatoely@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoDid you reconnect it everytime you had to power it on?
minus-squareRetro_unlimited@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days agoOn one computer I had a recessed reset button, so I used that as power. Another computer I added a wire to an external button double stick taped to the back of the monitor so I can turn on both at the same time.
minus-squarePeffse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 days agoYou sound like you are one step short of wiring up a giant lever to dramatically pull down when you want to power on the computer.
minus-squarebitjunkie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoA lot of newer motherboards have a separate power button next to the case pinouts.
minus-squarefrongt@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·4 days agoNah just jam a screwdriver in there to jump the pins. You shut down your PC though?
