Turns out after hours of troubleshooting Modern Standby, poring over Sleep Studies ("why is it draining 8% of battery an hour asleep?") that the specific drive I put in didn't "support" "Modern" Standby? Anyways I have a ThinkPad with S3 sleep now and the fans actually turn off when I put it to sleep so that's a win. permalink fedilink source parent
