Windows OS On A Pixel Watch! PHD Student Achieves The Impossible! News24 –

A PhD student named Gustave Monce, along with a small team, successfully ran the Windows operating system on a Pixel Watch through the WOA project. The process involved examining a rooted boot image, modifying the stock UEFI, altering the ACPI table, and patching various files to enable the watch to run Windows PE. Despite the extensive work, the project faced challenges due to the Pixel Watch's internal architecture, which was designed for its native OS. Additionally, old iPads can be repurposed as e-readers by downloading e-book reader applications or, for a more ambitious project, by booting them with a Raspberry Pi or another Linux-based operating system.

ACPI wake alarm does not disable; How to disable it?

If your Windows system is waking up at night due to an ACPI Wake Alarm, you can try several solutions to resolve the issue: 1. Adjust Hibernate Settings: Change the Hibernate after Sleep feature in Power Options to a higher value or disable it by setting it to 0 (Never). 2. BIOS/UEFI Configuration: Access the BIOS/UEFI setup and disable the Wake on RTC Alarm if enabled. 3. PowerShell and Command Line for Wake Timers: Use commands like PLACEHOLDERd65d9fd27963b5bd to review power settings and PLACEHOLDER0384fd2e90496902 to disable specific devices from waking the computer. 4. Disable Wake Timers: In Power Settings, set Allow wake timers to disable for both On Battery and Plugged In states. 5. Check Security and Maintenance Settings: Uncheck the option for Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer in the Security and Maintenance settings. 6. Task Scheduler Settings: Review scheduled tasks and uncheck the “Wake the computer to run this task” option in the Conditions tab. 7. Event Viewer Analysis: Check the Event Viewer under Windows Logs > System to identify the Wake Source, which may indicate the ACPI Wake Alarm. The issue often arises from ACPI wake alarms that can override wake timer settings, necessitating a thorough examination of all related configurations to fully disable them.
