my switch says its off, so its off.

if you got an intel/amd/qualcom/apple/android/microsoft/nitendo/sony device you were fucked the moment you spent money on it, its all backdoored and hacks your other devices

put your carkeys/phone/rfidchiped cards in the microwave, turn off your wifi, cancel your phone and internet services, get an old car and live a few months offline.
if you are a person of interest somebody will try to keep you online at all costs so they can watch you, otherwise you may be fine for now

This happens a lot with my W10 laptop, I shitpost a bit, lock it and then put it in sleep mode but when I come back it's fully unlocked and with firefox closed.

I've forcefully disabled updates and live alone if that matters, i know I could just install arch, 7 or even W10 enterprise ltsb n on it but I'm too lazy.

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

>>58139942
"why was it off?"

>>58148635
Because I have an electric bill to pay and it had no reason to be on.

Like if I'm downloading a lot of shit at night I'll leave my PC on. It's better done during the night and not disrupt people than in the day and make the internet slow as shit.

This >>58143357 , but unfortunately this function is literally fucked on 40% devices.

>>58139942
Use powercfg - lastwake or the event viewer to see what caused it, if it's wake source unknown it was windows update which has a retarded task set to wake your computer just to notify there are updates. You'll have to fuck with group policy to kill that off.

>>58143357

It's more fun to fuck with noobs and post memes than it is to violate the goddamn sticky.
