S0 standby is the problem. It's a flawed idea from the start. The theory is it's more "secure" or something. But like... Who cares about stealing shit from memory going from sleep to wake.
Now my laptop drops 20% charge in 5-10 minutes and goes into hibernation. It draws more power than if it's on.
It's not about security. It's about maintaining a network connection so you can stream Spotify and receive Facebook updates while it's "sleeping". It's fucking stupid.
The only purpose S0 standby has on my work laptop is to make sure that my bluetooth headset always prioritizes connecting to my sleeping laptop in my backpack over connecting to my phone that I want to watch youtube on while on the train.
