I use a Zigbee plug to toggle the power off and on, and the bios is configured to boot when power is restored.

OT: What emotion/message are you trying to convey with ":P" in your comments? I never really get these.

"my computer is better than your computer" i'm guessing...

No no definitely not that… it's more like "my stuff is a bit weird"

I don't know if it's common but for me ":p" is basically the text version of this emoji

[edit]: oops HN does not allow emoji … go here https://emojipedia.org/winking-face-with-tongue

I’d write that one as ;p , but OK.

The confusion might be because people stick out their tongue to make a silly face but also to “neener neener” tease someone. You meant the former, but IRL I’ve only ever encountered the latter, for example (growing up near Moscow, Russia). Might be culture-dependent.
