Poznamka: kopie textu, ktery jsem napsal jinde

Souhrn poznatku, postupu a rad pro ty, kteri se bud nachytaji, nebo se nachytali a cekaji. Predne, je to beh na dlouhou trat s nejistym vysledkem, a je jen ciste na Vas, jestli nechate podvodnikovi penize zadarmo, nebo ne.

1. Zaslat vyzvy o vraceni penez, doporucene a s dodejkou. Ne, nemyslim tim obycejny doporuceny dopis. Zasilal jsem celkem tri, treti byla predzalobni vyzva. Je to tak dano zakonem.

2. Oznameni na COI. Ta je sice bezbranna, a podnikatel ji muze naprosto beztrestne ignorovat, ale obcas udeluje za toto chovani pokuty.

3. Oznameni na PCR. Bylo mi receno, ze policiste jsou na “trestni oznameni” trochu haklivi, a proto je lepsi veci jenom oznamovat. Povazuji za vice nez vhodne je upozornit na to, ze se nejedna o ojedinely pripad, a bud jim nejaky predchozi pripad uvest, napr. XXX, nebo aby se podivali do databaze. Duvod je prosty a jednoduchy. Podivaji se na webove stranky, z kterych zjisti, ze eshop funguje, a budou trochu na pochybach. Nezapomente rict, ze chcete byt informovani o prubehu a vysledku vysetrovani! Bude take potreba dolozit pokus o bezvyslednou komunikaci, tedy zaslane dopisy, emailova komunikace, cokoliv. Nejdrive bude dotycnemu zaslana datova zprava s dotazem. Pokud na ni neodpovi, bude predvolan, aby podal vysvetleni. PCR MUSI dotycneho vyslechnout, a vymluvy typu “nemuzeme nikoho nutit, aby nam prisel podat vysvetleni” neexistuji. V takovem pripade podejte stiznost na postup vysetrovani! Musim podotknout dve veci. Prvni, ze kazde mesto/mestska sprava ma jinak nastavene prestupkove rizeni(?). V mem pripade resila vse PCR, protoze tak to ma mesto nastavene. Jinde to muze resit mesto/prestupkova komise(?). Druha vec, ani PCR neni vsemocna a podvody tohoto typu se prokazuji tezko.

4. Soud je nejspis posledni legalni moznost, jak se domoci prava. Z meho pohledu jasny pripad a jasna vyhra, pravo na strane spotrebitele. Problem je v tom, podle toho co jsem nasel, ze vyhrany soud neznamena, ze druha strana zaplati veskere naklady. Z meho pohledu se tedy soud vyplati pouze v pripade vetsi dluzne castky nebo skupiny lidi.

Zaverem snad jen dodam, ze v kratkodobem horizontu staci pro oblbnuti uradu lhat a vymlouvat se. I na PCR me ujistili, ze podvodnici v tom chodit umi, vetsinou velmi dobre. Pokud zrovna neprodaji neexistujici detskou postylku 400x.

Repeat after me:

• “ECO!”
• “Go green!”
• “Sustainability!”
• “Climate ch…”

Alright, that's enough. You've bought new piece of kit and, maybe, you've given thought or two about power consumption aka “energy efficiency rating” and what not. Your kit has arrived. You've unpacked, assembled, plugged it in and powered on and then this appears:

You mean to tell me that it's either “eco” conscious or utilizing kit to its full potential? Good. Good job! Also, what's up with energy efficiency rating of light bulbs? I mean, it looks like the only energy efficient light bulb is the one which doesn't exist, because I always thought that LED lights are energy efficient. Well, I thought wrong since they're rated F by current EU standards.

Connecting LCD display by USB-C Thunderbolt seemed like a good idea at first, however it soon turned into nightmare - sort of. First of all, connecting display by USB-C doesn't automatically mean it's Thunderbolt device despite the fact this is indeed port which supports TB. It isn't, as I found out, which explains why no TB devices show up and there are no devices to be managed and why tools like xrandr report connection as DisplayPort-1. Also, if you actually have some TB hardware, then it's advised to connect display through HDMI or DisplayPort instead of occupying TB port which can be used for something else. On the other hand, I have no other TB capable hardware and 4K@30Hz at HDMI doesn't appeal to me.

Second of all, there were random events like laptop falling asleep for no apparent reason or every time external display fell asleep(dim screen after X), display at the laptop woke up. This event led to another event - external display immediately woke up as well, “internal” one switched off, rinse and repeat until infinity. No such issues were observed when I had (another) display connected by HDMI. Since USB-C is used for power delivery as well, I just couldn't unplug the display whenever I “needed to” and be done with it. Long story short, I'm happy to say that it seems like setting “DP Hot-Plug Detection” from “Low Power” to “Always Active” on the display itself did the trick. No changes in Linux were necessary.
