    This theory is based on my understanding that computers don’t go all the way to sleep anymore and reenabling S3 restores normal sleeping.

    yeah, now that you say that is probably most laptops in the last few years. but I don’t think desktops do it. wrong, even my 4+ years old pc motherboard supports it according to /sys/power/mem_sleep

    I wanted to say this is not how it works:

    My pet theory is that a lot of systems are constantly looking at what is active on the network and those pings are keeping the machine awake.

    or if you meant that, computers are normally not pingable when they are asleep. net adapters only wake the computer when seeing a magic packet with their mac address in it, and it is the operating system that receives the ping request and decides to send back a ping response.

    an exception is when it is set up to wake on some network traffic pattern, but few net adapters support that mode of operation

    I guess this way people often just think that higher number is better, even if only subconsciously, and people will more often by a newer phone. but single increments like with the generation don’t have the same effect if the numbers are already large, and if they would use the release year maybe that wouldn’t have this effect on sales because people know it’s just the year. and a change from 2024 to 2025 does not seem to be so big as from 5 to 6
