    This may explain the issues I have at my buddies automotive shop... every few months all the PCs loose connection, then I have to uninstall all the drives and install them again. Fucking HP.

    It got disabled one day on my 8th Gen i7 XPS. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out why it keep cooking it self alive in my backpack. It's since been demoted to house use, sleep is still useless even after many FW updates and fresh os install. That thing used to last weeks on battery just closing the lid. Now it can't make it though the night. I wish I could turn it back on in this case, my new laptop is much better about it.

    Sleep is no longer what it used to be. They killed off S3 sleep in favor of some always connected mode, much like you cell phone.

    This is the way. My last place was so dry, I would get zapped touching the metal frame in my desk and reboot my PC. I installed a humidifier into the central heat, no more zaps!

    My 8th gen XPS used to support S3 and one update they killed it off. It kept finding the damn thing cooking it self in my bag. Had to resort to hibernation.

  • Started this morning with Messages, it is only showing the phone numbers in the chat threads. The Contacts app is only showing 2 contacts and searching only yields SOME results, ie. It is only showing 3 Jeffs out of many. Contacts on the desktop browser shows 100 contacts (i should have closer to 400), but i can search for the ones not being displayed. EDIT: Just noticed my Favorite contact list is empty, and below it has 2 "Frequent" contacts listed, but they are not people I have talked to in the passed 3-6 months.
