  • I’ve had the framework gen 12 laptop for a number of weeks now. I’m quite happy overall, but I’m finding that it keeps shutting down when I leave it for more than a couple of hours. The problem is inconsistent, as well. I’ll open the laptops some mornings and all my apps will still be open, no problem. Other times, it will have to go through the whole reboot process, all my apps will have been closed, etc. I use the laptop for work and being able to pick things up again quickly is important to...

  • It's convenient to close the lid of our laptops, go to a meeting, return, and open the laptops to be right where we left off without having to wait for our machines to boot. We save a lot of time in our lives not waiting for our devices to shut down and start back up, but we should not make putting our machines to sleep all the time our  modus operandi. A habit of always putting a machine to sleep rather than shutting it down may override the conscious act of deciding whether to put our devices to sleep or shut down.

  • When I close the lid, the computer should sleep. More to the point, when I press the freaking sleep button (power button configured to sleep, or start/power/sleep), it should go to sleep. Any other laptop I’ve ever owned, this is what it does. Framework doesn’t. It just blanks the screen and locks the desktop. 😣 It’s still consuming power (5-20 watts). It instantly wakes up if I as much as breathe on it, cheerily as if “this is what you want, right?”. No! I want it to be asleep… con...

12. Topic: Do you put your computer to sleep? @ AskWoody

  • Main System (laptop, using external monitor only): Screen off after 20 minutes, sleep manually engaged when I step away/out for more than brief periods.

  • The “traditional” sleep state is known as S3, or “suspend to RAM.” When you initiate this sleep state, it copies the system state (that is not already stored in RAM) into some of the free RAM, then turns off power for the whole system (more or less), except for the RAM. The RAM on a PC is dynamic RAM, so it has to continuously be refreshed or it will “forget” its data. That takes some power, and other bits of the motherboard need to be alive to deliver that power, but nearly everything is powered down.

  • Hi, and thanks in advance for any and all help! Like the title states, my laptop (a Pinebook Pro) does not hibernate / suspend when the laptop lid is closed. I frequently pick up the laptop only to find that the battery is drained to 0% and it needs to be plugged in. Not the end of the world, but not ideal.
