Surely it would be simpler+cheaper to use a smart plug to kill power, at least for devices without a battery (or where removing it is easy)

- fragmede 5mo agoSometimes you need to do a specific sequence of power button presses to reach certain states. Eg a laptop may have a specific power button press to perform a warm reboot (instead of a cold boot which you'd get by cutting power), which preserves the previous crash in RAM. This helps you figure out where/why it crashed, instead of having to guess.
