  • Apparently not in Windows settings:

    If the BIOS says it supports Modern Standby, Windows takes it at its word and completely disables the ability to enter S3 sleep (classic standby). There’s no official or documented option for disabling Modern Standby through Windows, which is incredibly annoying.

    Side note: for a while, there was actually a registry setting you could change to disable Modern Standby on the Windows side. Unfortunately, Microsoft removed it, and to my knowledge, has never added it back.

    I’m not a Windows user, so I can’t confirm one way or the other, but toward the end of the end of the article the author gives vendor-specific instructions for disabling the S0 Low Power Idle capability from BIOS.




  • Just tried the demo yesterday. The tutorial’s integrated into the gameplay in a way that didn’t feel obstructive to me. It’s less like an old-school sandbox tutorial and more that the game makes it obvious what you have to do for the first mission. And it seems to focus on the new mechanics since the basic stuff is already made obvious by overlays showing the controls.

    There will be people who have no capacity for nuance and see this as a boolean thing, and for them: the tutorial’s not skippable, no. But for most people, it shouldn’t be an issue.
