let’s ignore XP as a more glossy consumer version of 2000

That feels like a dangerous argument;

• 2000 = NT 5.0
• XP = NT 5.1
• XP x64 = NT 5.2
• Vista = NT 6.0
• 7 = NT 6.1
• 8 = NT 6.2
• 8.1 = NT 6.3
• 10 = NT 6.4 (Later NT 10.0 then 1507 for July 2015 when they made the switch to ‘agile’.)

Unless you are prepared to argue that everything since has just been an updated version of Vista.

I was literally told once “yes we can have meetings all day because you have all night to finish your code.” The same was expected when they had ‘team building’ outings.

The books, Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, are very good and very different from the movies. I also recommend Disclosure by the same author.

I was saying that my theory is that this functionality is broken or being bypassed on Windows such that when it gets hit by for instance the Network Discovery or “Do you have this update already downloaded?” ping from another Windows computer it wakes up to have a chat. I meant other systems are looking for active machines and those pings are waking it up or keeping it from going to sleep. I may have chosen a bad slang since ‘ping’ is a net command.

This theory is based on my understanding that computers don’t go all the way to sleep anymore and reenabling S3 restores normal sleeping. I included WoL because I have a machine that doesn’t have the S3 option but disabling WoL seemed to help on that one.

Right but my point was that doesn’t matter if your machine is in S3 or S4 instead of S1.

I’m not sure what you are trying to say.

I have had some luck disabling Wake-On-LAN on the systems that don’t need it, or enabling higher sleep modes on the systems where that is available. My pet theory is that a lot of systems are constantly looking at what is active on the network and those pings are keeping the machine awake.

Not OP but just to hazard a guess:

Alcohol evaporates quickly. It’s probably there for the same reason it’s used in dry shampoos and antiperspirants; to make something that sprays but drys into a powder or thickens to a gel in a very short period of time.

That Xbox would become Microsoft’s Steam has been the prevailing prediction for the better part of 10 years. I am immediately dubious of anybody who’s opinion is that a more capable than the Xbox device (as far as availability of games) has no reason to be purchased.

Probably;

Wood structures fair better in high wind and in earthquakes. Things we have far more of in North America.

Modern cars (in the US) are required to have an OBD-II Port for On-Board Diagnostics. I always assumed most cars these days were just sending some or all of the real-time OBD data to the manufacturer. GM definitely has been.

If this is you, try drinking more water.

“After these messages, we’ll be ‘light’ back!”

Yes, I mean it never hit its rated speed. Also that many modern sites didn’t work any better than they did on the dialup anyway.

My grandparents lived in rural OK and had dial-up until 2018 when they finally were able to get a 2mbps DSL line. It really wasn’t much faster than the dial-up.

Amazon is a technology company now. For a long time the storefront and logistics have been a tech demo for Amazon Web Services.

For instance: FreeRTOS

It takes all kinds to make a world; There are even people who don’t like chocolate and would just prefer the peanuts…

They don’t look the same and it doesnt look like differences that can be explained by photoshop.

That’s not the same nose and the spots are gone. All this really tells me is that image was used to train.

I think I would be more okay with having to undo a screw or two as long as it was still just as easy to get the battery out. The way the Advance SP and DSs handled it. Lithium batteries are slightly more unfriendly to being handled than AAs and this is a device aimed at children. Your point stands though.
