Oh, come on. S0ix is fine. If we don't want things to happen during this kind of sleep, we should arrange at the OS level for them not to happen. Nothing about the underlying mechanism forces your OS, at a policy level, to go download cat pictures and software updates while your machine is asleep.
This post reminds me of the people who complained about the transition from APM to ACPI. Despite much wailing and gnashing of teeth about "Why can't my laptop just support nice simple APM? Why do I bother with ACPI?", ACPI won, and we're all better off for it.

I've never seen any benefit to it, but I do see Windows misusing it all the time and I see my battery life be wasted due to S0ix. What the fuck is the point of sleep if it's just going to keep wasting my battery life by doing shit I don't need it to do. I want a sleep mode that works as advertised, not "I'll turn the screen off but do whatever the fuck I want when you're not looking".
- BlueTemplar 2y agoI heard that S4 («Hibernate») is hidden on Windows, but you can still dig deep in the settings to configure it to happen when you press the Suspend button / close the lid ?
- jeppester 2y agoI get where you are coming from, but from a user's perspective I really struggle to see the benefits of S0ix. More parts are kept on, for the sake of updates and notifications. Notifications that you will get on your phone anyway (and that the laptop won't be able to get if it's not connected to a wifi anyway), and updates that will likely cause too much excess heat to be safe to perform inside of a bag. If you see the benefits more clearly, perhaps you could elaborate on what they are?
