If the CMOS battery of a Dell 9200 (DXP061) the BIOS looses all the settings and resets the timestamp to 2007-11-22 midnight.
Date timestamp is likely because that’s the date stamp of BIOS version 2.5.3 which is still the latest for both the Dimension 9200 and XPS 410 (which are identical: XPS was for the consumer market, Dimension for the business market, only a few options were different):
The manual at [Wayback] dimension-9200_owner’s manual_en-us.pdf mentions how to change the battery, but forgets to mention it is a CR2032.
Luckily [Wayback/Archive.is] How to Replace a CMOS (coin-cell) Battery on Your Dell Desktop | Dell US had that information.

For my link archive as Ziggo is ditching the analog FM-signal rendering many devices inoperable in order to boost internet connectivity with a whopping 20 Mhz.
Switching to new hardware might as well give a much cheaper solution without Ziggo (need to check out at least NLZiet).
I wonder if Ziggo will really switch of the complete cable signal when ditching them, as I hear mixed information about that:

Note that Windows 10 does not seem to need additional drivers, even Wake-on-LAN works with the stock Windows 10 drivers (but does require two BIOS settings and three Windows driver settings, see [Wayback] Wake-on-LAN (WoL) | MSI HQ User-to-User FAQ.
Max processor information based on the below links.

[Wayback] msi hq user-to-user faq: wake on lan (wol) by Author Ruudt Swaanen on 3 May, 2017, paraphrased by me:
Disabling this function will keep the LAN port enabled when the system is put to Sleep (S3) or in Shutdown (S5) mode.
Enabling this function will use less power (see [Wayback] What is EuP 2013? | Overclock.net)
control.exe) with an Administrator elevation token):
powercfg.cpl), under “Choose what the power buttons do”, disable the option “Turn on fast startup (recommended)”.On many MSI based machines, the option “Turn on fast startup (recommended)” interferes with Wake-on-LAN.
devmgmt.msc), under your network adapter change these options (the naming slightly differs per vendor/model; below is for generic Realtek PCIe GBE):
Now test in these global Power States:
This worked well for S3 and S5 (but not S4) on my MSI Z77A-G43 based Windows 10 PC and only required stock network driver for the “Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller” shown in the Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and you can find on [Wayback] Microsoft Update Catalog: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver.
For more Wake on LAN blog posts, including how to initiate a Wake-on-LAN request, see the category Wake-on-LAN (WoL).

Hey macOS desktop in the basement, thanks for going to sleep while I was in the middle of typing at you via SSH.
Maybe that should be a signal not to sleep, eh?
$ sudo wakeonlan ac:87:a3:19:7e:81
Sending magic packet to 255.255.255.255:9 withWell, at least that works.
