I've literally cooked 3 work DELL laptops to death because they have no proper S3 sleep support. I put them to sleep and shove them in my backpack, they turn themselves back on and then run some windows bullshit until they overheat and shut off. Eventually they quit turning on and the batteries swell up from being repeatedly cooked.

I could take my work laptop out of the backpack when i get home, but why should I? It wouldn't cook itself to death if it had properly sleep support.

>>100126010
how did it download the update wtf
>>
>>100126068
OP is lying as always
>>
>>100126068
Through windows update.
There's usually an option on the bios to disallow firmare updates by the system.
>>
>>100126068
Probably got the payload from the internet. Then it laid dormant for a while. Retarded ass nigga
>>100126050
Dell is undeniably shit. I don't have the Support ASsist bullshit so it's gotta be some fuckery that initiated the firmware update. Windows update is off too
>>100126082
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
>>
>>100126050
Of course you are to stupid to learn not get a Dell after the first time.

>yeah bossman thanks for the work laptop but can i have a crusty thinkpad from 19shitty9 instead

You suppose to clean your laptop at least once per 3 months.
The inside gets super dusty pretty quick.
>>
>>100126481
>work laptop
>cleaning
I don't give a shit about the device. There could be dead mice in it and I wouldn't care. My company pays for it. I sometimes forget it's in my bag and throw it on the floor with the device in it. These laptops unironically are the rental cars of the office.
>>
>>100126481
I'm pretty sure cooking itself to death inside of a sealed backpack because it refused to actually sleep is what killed them, not dust.

even if it was dust... see >>100126545

>>100126010
>fucking management engine firmware starts updating
Not a thing that has ever happened
>>
>>100126050
>I put them to sleep
Have you considered NOT doing that?
Why not hibernate?
Why not poweroff?
Like sure, it's not good that sleep doesnt work how you want it to, but you are literally the definition of insanity.
If using the sleep feature killed my laptop not once, not twice, but three times i think I'd start doing something differently.

Setup. A. Fucking. HARDWARE. Firewall.
Stop being so fucking retarded.

>>100126050
Not Dell's fault you didn't know how to disable wake timers in Windows. Also entirely Windows' fault for making "wake from sleep to run bullshit updates" default OS behavior, especially without checking to see if it's running on battery.
