I think this was built into the SOC itself, or the GPS module, but it runs 100% independently of your OS, even on custom firmware.

Automatically entering the password at the login prompt would be FAR more insecure than task scheduler starting the task on startup. What you should do is go into task scheduler and tell it to start your jellyfin service. Then jellyfin is running, but your user isn’t even signed in.
If you just want auto login then look at these:
That’s how windows intends you to automatically log in even though your user has a password.
Windows task scheduler has plenty of built in things for this.
This is rebooting for a different reason. That auto reboot just kind assumes that the software on your phone sucks and it needs to reboot to stay running fast.
Graphene and now iOS auto reboot for security/privacy reasons.
Chrome does this just fine on windows. It just updates in the background so the only thing you need to do is (re)open chrome and it’s done. Firefox doesn’t, and waits until you try to launch it to update. On my laptop where I use FF infrequently makes it’s startup time about 30 seconds basically every time I open it.
If you’ve got a thunderbolt port on your laptop and a thunderbolt dock on your laptop then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.
I’m not familiar with thunderbolt on linux, but on windows you plug it in and it just works™️ and shows up as if it was inside your machine. Your DE on linux might automatically do it, but if you’re command line only you’ll probably have to run a command first.

I miss that in my old car. When I’m drivng around in the city and don’t rally need much headlighting I’d angle them all the way down. When I’m in a dark area where there’s enough people that I can’t use my brights I’d just angle them up. My current car has stupid self leveling headlights so I don’t get any of that fun :(
I think their confusion comes from OPs title.
Why is it “e-waste go brrrrrrr” when OP is presumably saying they’re keeping this laptop out of the machine? _ machine go brr is a dumb meme in the first place, people using it the wrong way makes it even dumberer.
Is it really that stupid though. And is it any worse than flush with the back of the computer so you can never tell if you’ve hit it until you’ve really pressed the button or it bongs?
There’s no reason to turn off a Mac Mini. It uses about a watt of power in sleep. The idle draw from the power supply in your desktop probably uses more power than the Mac Mini in sleep.
Gotta get the Apple haters to be their #1 advertisers for free.
Keep it up people. Apple did almost nothing to advertise this computer. You’re the advertisement.
They’ve used the same symbol since before we standardized on the RJ45 connector, or 10baseT. Back when ethernet was the wild west.
God I miss these abortions. The OG dongles.
Back when men were men, and ethernet cables were an inch thick and needed heavy equipment to use.
I only program in HTTPS
These machines draw 1 watt in sleep. There’s no need to turn them off.
You’re probably using more power shutting down your PC every day than if you just put it in sleep. A minute of chugging away booting and loading all your junk at 100 watts vs 1 watt, and no waiting.
This mac mini on uses less power than your desktop in sleep.
Your desktop also doesn’t use 0 watts of power when off. If you have a gaming computer with a full power supply it’s probably using a couple watts completely off. Vs an M1 Mac mini that uses about 1 or less watts in sleep.
And how exactly am I supposed to wake up my computer from sleep if the power button is inaccessible?
Poke your finger under the corner and push up. It doesn’t take a rocket surgen to figure out how they want you to hit this button. You can tell from their promo images that they designed the base to make the computer sit up enough for this.
I know macs can be configured to wake up on keyboard/mouse activity, but that makes them too easy to wake up on accident.
Why does it matter? It’s just gonna go back to sleep in 30 seconds if you don’t mess with it.
Anything other than Ford and Tesla? Somewhere between 1 and 0 per year. With the entire lifetime of the car typically being less than 5
Ford hands out recalls like candy which I’m actually OK with because it means they want to fix their stuff. Mopar also has a lot, but that’s because their cars are shit.
