  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    A lot of modern windows laptop don't let you shut them down.

    They use something called Windows Hybrid Sleep and it should be illegal. Selecting shut down in windows will keep the machine in a state where it will turn on at random times to check for updates. Especially fun whrn in your backpack creating a furnace.

    Thankfully it can be disabled via AD policy.

    Shouldn't have to use fucking group policy just to stop your machine updating at inopportune times. Fucking Windows.

    It's always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

    As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

    [–] egonallanon@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

    Ah yeah I forgot about hybrid sleep as I turned if off years ago and forgot it existed. Such a nonsense feature.

    [–] HStone32@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

    Ah yes, the greek hydra of IT. Disable one policy, two more shall take it's place.

    [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Or just disable the Fast Startup option

    [–] MadBigote@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

    I remember you have to press either Shift or Alt for the shutdown button to actually shut down the PC.

    [–] Ferus42@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    You dont need to use group policy.

    Admin console: powercfg.exe /hibernate off

    Now its off. Hybrid sleep is just a faster Hibernate.

    [–] vodka@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Or just turn off fast Startup in the power settings.

    I meant that you can thankfully disable it with group policy so that the 3000 laptops I manage at work don't all cook in backpacks every day.

    I've been out of the GPO game for a while, but I've never heard of widespread issues with laptops waking up even if their lids are closed. Did this start with Windows 11?

    [–] vodka@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

    Yeah it started sometime in 2022. Though also for Windows 10.

    It also has some hardware requirements, so most older laptops wouldn't have the issue.

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

    is that not on by default for every windows installation?
