I hate my monitor for that. Entering the bios is guesswork about when to press a key if I remember what key to press. Also I can't turn it on too early before the PC or it will go to stand by after not receiving a signal for two seconds and then take even longer.
I want a monitor turns on and stays on.
Let me guess, samsung odyssey? Had one of those, never again.
Friend even called me that he has fucked up his pc rebuild - his Samsung monitor was just not waking up because it literally turns off.
I've learned the hard way that there's only one decent Samsung product line - from big appliances to little electronics - and it's their phones (and even those leave questions on privacy).
That's funny, while I still buy Samsung TVs, I hate their phones. So much of what their phones can do is usually locked to only working in Samsung's apps and those are universally dog shit. The phones themselves are also often privacy and user control nightmares.
Granted, there isn't a lot of good choices for phones these days. I'm still running an old LG phone and have been looking outside Android as my next possible solution. But, I also haven't had a reason to upgrade.
Have a Samsung TV and it's by far my least favorite. Turns off at random, takes forever to switch inputs, turns on at random...
As for phones I'm eyeing the Motorola RazrFold, since they're supposedly offering it Graphene-ready
Turn off all of the Energy Saving/Eco Solution crap. It will stop turning off and you will get s brighter inage that doesn't shift in brightness.
You should also switch to Movie mode in the picture settings and set dejudder/deblur (under Motion Clarity) to 0 while you're at it so it doesn't turn everything into 60 fps with fake frames.
I heard Samsung's SD cards are good
Their SSDs are/were considered amongst the best options, but I haven't looked into them since the 970 Evo days and they could be crap now for all I know.
in that case there are zero decent Samsung product lines.
horrible repairability, horrible privacy with all the built in bloatware and spyware, no more bootloader unlock to get rid of all of them, but even before they made that impossible they were the only android phone maker that required their own quirky tools for that, and blowing permanent efuses while at it.
It's an MSI but now looking at pictures ofequivalent samsung odysseys it might very well be the same monitor with a different sticker on the back.
And yes, it turns off, the PC doesn't see a monitor so it doesn't send a signal, and the monitor doesn't turn on either because it's not receiving any signal.
REISUB time when that happens.
All modern monitors are like this now. Dell, HP, Asus...
Doesn't detect input? Instant power off. Now you have to press the menu key every 5 seconds to try and find the input for your PC.
Beyond ridiculous. I have a Dell that's like 15 years old and it stays on for multiple minutes before going into power saving. It's glorious
Typical Samsung product. Good hardware, acceptable build quality/ material selection, horrible software.
On mine you can't even select the input manually, the monitor always cycles through every input. Couldn't find anything on input 2 I just plugged in? Let's do another round of checking all inputs for 10 seconds, and again, and again.... And always finish on the input you started, or turn off if no active input is found.
Software always destroys their products.
I have a modern Lenovo monitor (2020) that takes longer to wake up than my hp monitor. So annoying.
Edit: aforementioned is from 2011 and is a zr2040w.
The Lenovo monitor is a d22e-20
Fun fact about monitors turning on slowly: did you know Windows has a bluescreen code for that?
The WIN32K_POWER_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT bug check has a value of 0x0000019C. This indicates that Win32k did not turn the monitor on in a timely manner.
That's right, Windows will panic and throw a bluescreen if your monitors take a little too long to wake up. Had the pleasure of dealing with this suddenly becoming an issue and causing wide bluescreens on wakeup after an update back in mid-2024, on any Surface Dock using DisplayPort with specific Acer monitors.
Woah woah..... is there someplace in the event logs where this would show? Does this mean that you cannot run a windows computer headless?
It gets logged in the event viewer, yeah. That's how I discovered it, on account of the screens not waking up in time to show the actual bluescreen. The users were only reporting that their computers were deleting all their windows when waking up. From their perspective, all they saw was their computer taking a mildly longer time to wake up from deep sleep and then losing their entire session, but what it was actually doing was hard rebooting.
Headless is fine, the bug was specifically triggered when a computer woke up and detected a monitor exists, but the monitor took some unspecified amount of time too long to wake up. It was also fixed at some point, I'm not sure when, but it went on long enough that we swapped dozens of cables because it specifically only happened on the ones using DisplayPort, not HDMI.
Oh shit, this may be the problem I've been having with my laptop dock at work
THIS WAS THE MEME I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR!! Thanks!
I feel like the boot time is almost entirely uefi ram timing shenanigans these days
I thought arch was all about reducing bloat. Is gentoo better than arch?
Gentoo recompiles everything, so it can do optimisations based on your particular setup Arch can't.
You can also just recompile the kernel and any utils yourself on Arch, if you want
You can recompile the kernel in any distro. In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel (because you compile everything).
In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel
This is not true any more. Gentoo provides sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin as an option.
Yeah, but I'm using Arch cause I have better things to do. You guys have fun compiling your own stuff without me.
Obviously arch can be rebuilt pretty easily, gentoo does almost nothing that arch can't, and rebuilding itself osn't one of those things. Look up ABS.
What's this "boot" of which you speak?
Do people really turn their machines off these days?
You've got to reboot after kernel updates, otherwise it can't load new modules. I've been confused at least twice why something didn't load until.I remembered the reboot.
I think the command "systemctl kexec" would like to have a word. Great command to know if you have a VM on a system you dont manage / share with others.
Yup. My entire PC desk (monitor, PC, 2+1 speakers) draw 7W when the PC is turned off (old speakers draw power when off for some reason). For comparison: My NUC server draws 7W white turned on, doing useful work. This infuriates me, so I got a zigbee power switch and shut the PC desk completely off when I'm not home.
If 7W for nothing pisses me off, you're damn straight an idle or sleeping PC will too!
Every day
Gentoo is GOAT. I am also glad that Arch exists though. Both have excellent wikis, good knowledgeable communities, lots of configuration options. In terms of pure speed, it is hard to beat a build it all from source as per your own custom USE flags setup like in Gentoo.
Folk w/o FDE ...
What?
Full disk encryption
(I can't beat monitor powering up.)
Slowing you down. Ah, same. I may have used higher than default iterations π
Maybe dropbear and unlock really fast from another device where the monitor is already on?
I'll just get one of those closed sauce humanoid robots dependent on AI megacorps to input the pass at superspeed.
Or just tell it to keep the monitor turned off & only power it on once desktop shows up.
The future is near!!
Get a ardunio and wire up a bop-it so you can unlock your computer faster.
this reminds me i should update my kernel
Keep going. Kevin can get smaller, leaner, faster and hopefully has apparmor or selinux already.
My laptop boots much faster than my desktop PC (both running Fedora 43) despite my desktop PC being much faster.
Does your desktop have more RAM, or faster RAM? If so, the training step can take much longer. In your desktopβs BIOS look for a setting called βMemory Context Restoreβ and turn it on. That can dramatically speed up boot times.
That setting is no joke, I was pissed I didn't enable it sooner
My machine went from 45+ seconds to 13 for boot
Oh wow that's so much better!
