Nighed
Places with the wireless battery powered payment terminals will still work without power for a while. Lots of them don't even need network, they just sync up later.
But for the most part, if there is a significant power outage, things are screwed anyway.
I remember going to the natural history museum as a kid and feeling sick from all the pollution.
Now it's not a problem at all there.
It's a custom chip though isn't it? Seems a strange choice
If you sort by top, there are some quite funny ones.
The marshmallow is eating the kid, not the other way round.
That's basically what hibernate is. Shouldn't be hard to offer as an option.
The difficult bit is having it wake from sleep to hibernate itself. I suspect that would require hardware.
Hibernate would be great as it's a slightly longer restore, but should work the same (if you are willing g to sacrifice the disk space)
Being able to pick up the deck and know it will have battery left would be really nice. It drains pretty fast in sleep mode.
Got my hopes up there might be some sleep limit too. Would much prefer if it shuts down/hibernated after being asleep for more than 26 hours (or past a certain battery level)
(not original commenter) It's not really needed in or near European cities in a lot of cases.
I have one because I had a job I needed to drive to at one point, but now, I can cycle most places, or get things delivered. Not paying for a car can pay for a lot of taxis for the other cases.
Was thinking of getting one of those tiny electric 2 seat cars with sub 100 mile ranges to cover most of the remaining cases.
