The PinePhone automatically powers on when plugged in. While I know there are workarounds and suggestions like "using a better charger," I’m not interested in those.
What I’d like to know is:
Is there a command I can enter in the terminal to prevent it from doing that, so it only turns on when I press the power button?
this happens in a hardware level and cannot be switched off by software. even android devices power on by usb cable, but they go to charging mode instead of normal boot
in theory, software could detect usb cable and go charging mode. maybe in towboot.
