If this is what Microsoft called "connected standby" it's worth noting that the early implementation of this even on Surface hardware with Windows 8 was hot garbage. It liked to wake itself up in your bag and completely drain the battery while cooking the computer from lack of ventilation. I made a point of always turning the Surface the whole way off any time I packed it up because it was so unreliable. Best case the battery drained like 5% per hour.
Hopefully the initial BSD implementation is better than Windows did.
Oh, no doubt it was hot garbage in 8. It was slightly improved in 8.1, and there were real improvements in the system in Win10 that really made it work better. Win10 was the first good version.
But Win10 is still over 10 years old. Win10 is end of life in about 2 months.
My experience would’ve been 8.1 already, just double checked and that’s what the Surface Pro 3 shipped with. And I don’t think they had connected standby on the prior Surfaces (at least officially).
Good? Come on. Even few years ago I remember reading people here and on Reddit complaining how their laptops cooked themselves to death in backpacks and OEMs shrugging "you should've turned it off".
"Modern" standby was and is still a hot garbage, and it'll always be, because it's defective by design.
It's a sleep mode but nothing is really asleep and your system could wake up at any time to do whatever it wants. what could go wrong? (I mean apart from draining the battery or cooking the mainboard
Seems to work fine on macs so I don’t think the premise is defective by design. I thought maybe you had some particular examples of poor technical choices to offer

What’s defective in its design
