- sgtnoodle 4y agoTo be fair, those 16 cores probably don't work at all until an obscure microcontroller configures them. It's probably running in the Mhz range, off of a flash or EEPROM chip. It's potentially copying in several MB of firmware into other obscure things. Still, that should only be 100ms or so.
- weberer 4y agoI recently got a new work laptop that doesn't support sleep mode (s3). Apparently its something that the vendor has to support in the BIOS. Dell says they're not going to support it anymore since Windows uses some fake sleep mode nowadays so they can collect telemetry 24/7, and they don't want to put in the effort just for Linux users. I can't believe we're going so far backwards with technology these days.
