Nope. I find that Cisco Enterprise Wireless Accesspoints are complete crap in regards to phones if your IT department doesn't update their firmware regularly.

Work recently ripped out all the Cisco junk and installed UniFi and all wireless problems, mobile and other went away.

but they still don't seriously threaten our society

exactly because we have vaccines, you fucking moron

and if not enough vaccinate, the diseases find vectors to proliferate again, AND they have a chance to get lucky and develop new strains that can get around our exisitng vaccines, threatening everyone period

everyone has to get vaccinated. if not, the person is ignorant, irresponsible and dangerous to all of our health. if you don't agree with that statement, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and/ or you are blindly selfishly irresponsible

you have no freedom to choose something that threatens other people's lives (nevermind your own)

Now? Nothing.

However, the F1 key works and the FN key works, so in other words, the physical key works perfectly. And the sleep key worked perfectly before the upgrade to systemd. So, it seems overwhelmingly likely that systemd is the problem since it subsumed control over ACPI events from acpid.

whut?

But damn, I should have tried to get a bet going you wouldn't go back to long form.

It's oddly entertaining when your private narrative leaks into the text. Please do continue.

It obviously can be done, the question is whether it makes financial sense. It seems that, if it were cost-efficient to store electricity in LiIon batteries then the biggest buyers of them would be power companies, so maybe there's some market inefficiency that you can exploit by doing it in customers houses, but it even with that it sounds like it will have a very long ROI. I pay about £400/year for electricity (about $600). A $13K battery storage array would cost me the same as almost 22 years of electricity. Even if it reduced my electricity bills to zero, it would take 22 years for it to pay for itself. I think the overnight rate, if I switch to a tariff that has one, is about half of the normal rate, so it would actually take 44 years. Probably a bit less as electricity prices are likely to go up over the next few decades, but even with a 20 year ROI there are far better uses of my money.

Apparently a lot of the USA uses electricity for heating (and cooling). If you're using gas or oil for heating, then comparing your electricity usage to their energy usage is not an apples-to-apples comparison.

It depends on whether you're using electricity for heating. In the last quarter, we used about 7kWh/day of electricity, but about 23kWh/day of gas. If you're on electric heating (and live somewhere larger than me), then 48kWh doesn't sound too excessive.

I just bet you were so stupid you would keep doubling down.

Ah so we are back to trading insults. Troubly is you're not very good at it, because it requires more than de-coupled invective to be effective. You see the little narrative you have rattling round inside you brain is actually just inside your own brain and makes no sense to anyone else. That of course does reveal plenty about the nature and quality of your brain as well.

I do understand the solar industry, that's why I fliped two big middle fingers to them and bought and imported all china solar panels and installed a 5Kwh setup for drastically cheaper than any of the overpriced US crap.

Spent 1/2 the price got the same panels all monocrystalline and of very good quality build. It's been in operation for 3 years now with no problems. I use grid intertie and drive the meter backwards. No local storage.

Electrical bill is $14.95 a month because you have to pay the "fees" and the scumbag leaders in my states government passed a law that allows the power company to not pay for any surplus I generate above my own use.

Offer a package with solar panels so we can get off the grid with no maintenance that a typical solar+wind offgrid setup requires.

Most people can barely change the batteries in their TV remote, they cant handle the work involved in taking care of an offgrid power system. Been there done that.

Before the iPhone we were not primitives. They were smart phones years before the iPhone was released. The big players was Blackberry and a slew of windows mobile phones, and Palm. They had a keyboard you could browse the web you could even get apps, and watch videos. Android OS was in development. But the idea of smart phones were all centered around a full keyboard and some sort of pointing device. The key features where there. So it would make sense for Google to look for ways to improve bandwidth without the iPhone designed phone.

However after the iPhone was released it put the smart phone market in shock. It seemed that a larger screen was preferable, people picked up in using gestures quickly, and was willing to sacrifice a physical keyboard for it. This made all the other companies future plans obsolete thus giving Apple a two year lead.

But saying before the iPhone we wouldn't imagine trying to get faster mobile data is naive.

Lawsuits don't have to be expensive, it depends on how much you're asking. If you claim, say, the cost of one year of Internet subscription then you're in the lowest bracket for small claims court filings (plus your time, which may be a lot more depending on how flexible your working hours are). The cost for the ISP to send someone is more than they're likely to lose, so you're very likely to get a default judgement against them. For added irony, you might ask for the ISP to be required to pay for you to transfer your subscription to A&A and pay the difference in the cost of Internet access for the next two years...

Nope. Sleep over dbus works. The keys are fully operational and it worked prior to reinstalling a dbus system.

The only seemingly valid complaint I have seen is that systemctl doesn't provide the exist process.

So my point that when something that ought to work doesn't and I can't figure out how to debug it is simply not valid? I can see why dbus-haters get all riled up. Apparently reasonable complaints are met with complete dismissals.

Seriously, how on earth is my complaint not valid?

Works for me. Maybe you could describe your environment in more detail?

Yeah, it works for most people. It's an arch laptop running on an eee 900. Its an otherwise fairly stock install. It boots in commandline mode and I start graphics using "startx". I run FVWM, not any of the big "desktop" environments.

Sleep works fine, using both writing to /sys/state/mem and issuing a command over dbus. Also the sleep key works fine (well, the underlying key works, and the Fn button works), so I assume the combination does, as it did before the reinstall with dbus.

I'm completely stumped, so I welcome any suggestions at this point.
