Having been using Windows for 30 years and 3 Surface Pros in the meantime (4,6,9) and recently bought a 15" macbook air m4. The OS is indeed a big deal. Hardware wise the surface pro feels as nice as macbook air, but Windows...man it's it's own enemy now -

Dell says it can't be blamed for Windows Night Light breaking on its Arm PCs by Usama Jawad Night Light is a very handy feature that is available by default in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Essentially, when you toggle it on, Windows reduces the emission of blue light from the display which in turn decreases the stress on eyes and can potentially aid in better sleep too. While this feature generally works quite well, this hasn't been the case so far on some Dell PCs. Now, Dell has acknowledged the issue in a recently published support document. As the situation currently stands, Night Light does not work on the secondary display on certain Windows Arm PCs when an external monitor is connected to them. This happens on the following PC models: Inspiron 14 5441 Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 Latitude 5455 Latitude 7455 XPS 13 9345 Now, Dell has confirmed that this is not due to any hardware or software issue on its side, it's just a limitation of the Qualcomm Oryon chipset. In essence, this is a problem that is outside the control of Dell. What this means is that while customers can utilize built-in and third-party tools to adjust the color profiles of their displays, Dell can't really get Windows Night Light to work as-is on external displays connected to any of the Arm PCs listed above. The company has emphasized that there are no plans to support Windows Night Light on its existing Arm PCs, and that customers will just have to make do with what they have. However, this feature will likely work as designed with the "next generation" of Arm computers, which will presumably leverage a chipset that is not held back by this limitation. Windows on Arm has enjoyed decent support from software developers in recent times; Microsoft will be hoping that it can keep the momentum going with its next Snapdragon PCs. -

that car they are showing run on very small areas and in controlled environments like no difficult intersection or construction areas while also having drivers in the car, while waymo has proven track record, one is working product which you can take today, the other is future promise with less service and more caveats (which has been delayed over a decade).

Question
unknownsoldierX
I currently have a script to encode files and send them to another machine over the LAN. I've started putting the remote machine to sleep since it isn't being used as much, so I want the batch file to wake the machine if needed.
What I'd like to do is:
1. check to see if the PC is currently on
2. encode the files
3. if PC was already on, send periodic packets to keep it on while the script is running
4. run renamer
5. if machine is off, send a magic packet to wake the machine so they can be copied over
6. if need be, wait for machine to turn on, then check it again
7. copy and move files
That way, the machine won't go to sleep while the script is running only to be woken up again a short time later. Each encoding takes about 40 minutes, and the remote PC sleeps after 1 hour. So, if the machine is currently on, I need a command to keep it alive inserted between each encode.
Here is my current script. It may seem a little weird, but it does what I need. I've trimmed out most of the encoding steps.
