which points to a absurdity of s0, it seems to consistently miss or have bugs in things I would expect to be core aspects like

- monitoring if power is unpluged

- monitoring if battery level sings below threshold

- monitor CPU temperature

and take appropriate actions, like transitioning to "classical" S3 or better hybrid S3

it's totally a misterious for me how that doesn't work well even 10 years later

I mean bugs which idk. unexpectedly drain a bit more battery etc. are to be expected but I would expect the UEFI to be like "uh that's too much CPU heat lets stop here", "uh that's draining the batter too fast let's stop", "uh only 40% batter better not even try anything". And sure you want hello to work even with <40% battery but that's if its enabled, which often it isn't.

Yeah you are right, my little "hack" is really something that makes it less terrible, but it does not make it as nice as traditional S3 sleep. The fact that this sleep mess is still so buggy and annoyance prone beggars belief.

This might be an urban myth so read with a pinch of salt, but there was a line of Dells at some point that warned to not close the lid without a proper shutdown, because it'll literally cook the LCD and cause permanent damage. Dell decided this was the right course of action for this problem.

I think that wasn't just a urban myth, like AFIK (and that could be wrong) it did happen but only rarely and only under certain conditions etc.
