Not just Windows 11 - any OS that has a hibernate feature, so all modern versions of Windows.

This isn't a Windows thing, it's a product of how SSD/NAND memory works/ages.

What a nothing article.

I thought the same. Basic arithmetic gets 500 word padding.

Plus, no mention of hybrid sleep on desktops writing RAM to the SSD on every sleep. Certain usage patterns could make that a larger problem if the PC sleeps multiple times per day. But still, nothing new.

Hibernating twice a day with 32 GB of RAM? That seems insane to me.

I pretty much never hibernate, because I'm usually gonna have the laptop plugged in again sometime later than day. Doing it twice a day means that they know they'll be using the computer in a few hours.

I don't even hibernate unless I'm on the move.

What am I saying, I don't even hibernate anymore, as sleep is so much better on power than it used to be.

Like my battery would have to be below 15% for hibernate to kick in - I've manually set it there more as insurance that I don't lose work in case I've accidentally forgotten to hit ctrl-s.

As someone who cut their teeth on DOS, then Win 3.1, saving all the time has been ingrained - you just can't trust a system to not lose it's mind occasionally.

Haha, 500 word padding.

You did more work than the author!

When OEMs started locking down phones and killing custom ROMs, they had to shill in order to stay relevant

Pretty much, unfortunately for them it doesn't seem like they are staying much relevant at all despite of all the shilling, only actively sabotaging their credibility, a foundation of their relevance in the past, even more lol
