Personally I’m not sure I really shut down my laptop. Only restart as required. But now I think about it, boot time is important for restarts!

Isn’t your laptop use case the reason that sleep exists?

How do people keep up with all these petty laws? If my country banned hotdogs there’s a decent chance I’d miss the announcement and accidentally put a frankfurter in a bun. I could miss it completely and I have internet! How does your average person on North Korea find out about this ban on putting sausages in bread?
