On my desktop, wake on LAN stopped working after a BIOS update, so I set it to "power on after power fail" (when the power comes back) and plugged it into a WiFi switchable power socket on which I installed the Tasmota firmware.
Power outages and therefore undesired activation are extremely rare where I live. Probably less than one in five years.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoMy first computer had an unintended 'power on after power fail' mode, resulting from a short-circuited power button! I don't believe modern motherboards would do that; they must be listening for their power button's state transition when it is depressed rather than simply checking whether it is closed.
