oh and who are you the Rock Wrangler? The Time Tempter? The Henge Handler?

One of the many reasons people like this are not happy imo is that theyre doing the same stuff they did as a kid. You need to go do things you've never done before. The brain needs new experiences. Get out of your comfort zone (and your house).

Maybe next time get your 5000 year old facts straight before making a silly internet comment buster

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I have to stop you right there buster. Stonehenge is not "religious nonsense" it is literally a way to keep track of celestial movement and track the solstices. This allowed for ancient peoples to track the change of seasons and properly plan their agricultural activities. It was entirely practical, and very good at its job as it still works today to an extent.

Pretty good at invading in general historically

Isn't that obvious? Like processor tech is doing the same thing Turings machine did for the most part just much much faster. Technically you could compute the operations of a chess engine by hand on paper and get the exact same outcome. It would just take... a very very long time. It's just math.

that is what my laptop uses. Why mine works and yours does not is very complicated. I looked into it a bit. Firstly, my laptop is a Dell Latitude 7400 (non 2 in 1 model). This supports both modes, but mine is configured to use s2idle. One of the huge pluses of this laptop is that is had a stock Ubuntu option when it was sold. You could get it shipped to you with Ubuntu preinstalled. Now, I don't use Ubuntu I use Debian but the Dell firmware is still configured to support Linux out of the box. So Linux isn't being treated as a 2nd class citizen for this laptop. It's getting the VIP treatment just like Windows.

Another thing is my actual configuration. Thermals prior to sleep matter a lot. If you laptop is too hot it will fail to enter the sleep state it needs to. Meaning it stays hot and continues to run and dies fast. I have heavily modified my laptops thermals. I have the CPU capped at 2.5Ghz, I have tlp running, and I have high quality thermal pads added inside the chassis to spread heat around to the magnesium back plate. Because of these mods my laptop does not use its fan, and the CPU hovers around 50C passively while in use. This means I never have a problem with suspend due to thermals.

I also have components, like my SSD, that are modern and support deep sleep states. My SSD is a WD Black SN770 1TB. Which is both pretty power efficient and supports deep sleep states.

Another thing is that the tlp and powertop tweaks are preventing wakeup triggers that would pull it out of suspend. and of course the last big thing is just that I keep my firmware up to date. Dell released firmware specifically to fix modern standy issues and I have that update. Dell ships easy firmware updates to linux users and you can install them with a few clicks and a reboot. Another advantage of the Linux native support.

Really can't reccomend the laptop enough if you want a used business class machine its great and you can find them for 200ish$.

Well idk what about my setup isn't modern? I guess my laptop is a few years old but its not that old. 2020 model. and I run debian stable so not bleeding edge but not crazy. My laptop is just one that ships with an ubuntu option and so it has good linux compatibility in general. So that probably helps.

i can put my laptop into suspend and lose maybe 2% of battery per day at most. So hibernation seems a bit unnecessary. Maybe if your RAM is less efficient or something? Idk.

And yet their comment said "The way we did in 1942". Not "the way we did prior to 1939". So wtf is your point here?

im not that person but just let me chime in dont run this code on your pc. Its very sus.

I know but it's walmart. The attendant is handling 30+ self checkouts and I'm not waiting 10 minutes.
