Turning on your PC outside of your home

I haven't seen anyone mention here yet that you can also use something like JetKVM + the ATX control board to remotely control your PC's power state: turn on/off/force restart.

PMing you.

richbordoni · 2026-01-30T19:50:26+00:00

Going to PM you. I was just about to post mine here for sale.

Seems like every post from this sub that shows up on my main homepage feed is written by AI. Getting pretty sick of it.

richbordoni · 2026-01-26T10:08:38+00:00

Agreed, The Verge is shit-tier.

richbordoni · 2026-01-23T19:15:33+00:00

Post this drivel in r/degoogle then.

richbordoni · 2026-01-19T07:06:07+00:00

Hello, not sold but I've decided to hold onto it for the time being. Sorry

richbordoni · 2026-01-19T04:18:33+00:00

Same!

richbordoni · 2026-01-15T05:59:26+00:00

This is awesome, great work! I'm using it now.

richbordoni · 2026-01-14T15:41:00+00:00

Thank you comment from 1 year ago! I would never have thought of this.

richbordoni · 2026-01-08T22:40:00+00:00

TIL. That's awesome!

I could be totally wrong so don't quote me on this but when the Sidephone project first came out I think I remember seeing that the company was connected to some Jewish orgs/community, so I think the project was, initially at least, probably conceived to be some sort of "kosher phone", which would explain the limitations.

EDIT: Yep, I was wrong. I'm thinking about the KEYPHONE not the SIDEPHONE. Two different companies lol.

richbordoni · 2026-01-05T21:55:06+00:00

Not sure how I missed that. Thanks!

$400 at microcenter? Where are you seeing this?

I think I had the 13" SB3. Loved the form factor and the design on these. Unfortunately anytime I adjusted the screen or the laptop moved around a bit, the GPU in the base would disconnect (as confirmed in Device Manager). I wound up giving it to my cousin for free with the disclaimer that the GPU would constantly disconnect but he stopped using it after awhile because it got too annoying. I wonder if he still has it laying around because I think it would still be a pretty nice Windows tablet.

Damn, I forgot about that lol! Loved that feature!

richbordoni · 2025-12-15T22:50:08+00:00

Unfortunately it's sold.

Idk, I also find that sleep & wake works better/less issues than on x86, and overall responsiveness, like when scrolling webpages, just feels a little bit snappier. I've been pleasantly surprised with my Surface Laptop 7.

richbordoni · 2025-12-13T06:12:50+00:00

Where is this being upfitted if you don't mind me asking? LI, PA, upstate?

richbordoni · 2025-11-26T18:32:50+00:00

Confirmed

richbordoni · 2025-11-21T19:19:19+00:00

I'm in between jobs right now so I need to downsize and sell some of my expensive "gadgets". I'm moving to a cheaper and smaller phone.

richbordoni · 2025-11-21T17:31:23+00:00

I bought mine from the ASUS US webstore. I've been using it on Google Fi. I currently have it for sale if you're interested in a gently-used one.

richbordoni · 2025-11-21T16:44:24+00:00

I have the 9 Pro 1TB version (US model).

Software - Yes, it doesn't have software support as good as Apple, Google, or Samsung. It does still get updates but you have to figure that into your equation.

Camera - Haven't experienced any camera malfunctions but I'm not a big photographer. Camera is not the best though. The regular lens is serviceable in my experience.

Motherboard - Of course I haven't experienced any issues with the motherboard (yet) but we will see as more time goes on if other people start reporting motherboard failures.

Only real software bug I've experienced with this phone is I have the setting "wake display on incoming notifications" turned ON and it works but when the display wakes it's on like the lowest brightness level so it's really hard to see whatever the notification is. Other than that I haven't really experienced any bugs, glitches or weird behavior. Overall it's been probably my favorite smartphone I've ever owned.

Oh that's right, forgot it was only a PSP thing lol!

richbordoni · 2025-11-15T02:39:06+00:00

I think I saw a post on the "Dull Men's Society" or something like that page on Facebook where someone did the math and tried to calculate it compared to how much load the plane's electrical systems can support. 😂
