    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.

        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

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