Windows has been sleeping and rebooting in a matter of seconds for over a decade now 🤷♂️ there sure is a lot of circle jerking going on because of my comment. I don’t even have anything against iOS I was simply trying to ask about their biggest weakness.
And … yeah TBH things haven’t changed. MacOS still doesn’t support Vulkan or DirectX which immediately puts it in a niche space, and Proton also doesn’t work for MacOS, so MacOS is arguably well behind Linux in gaming (though there are a few good native ports of a few serious games – e.g., No Man’s Sky).
The issue is that you roll a D20 anytime you put it to sleep and if it rolls a prime number, the device actually randomly decides to overheat and drain your battery during “sleep” without any discernible cause.

The issue with Windows isn’t that it can’t sleep.

Lol
The amount of possible hardware/software combinations in a windows laptop means these issues will in practice never get addressed.
I’m a windows guy, but I recognize that the deck is stacked heavily in favor of apple here, and they make good use of it.
