I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

Creepy behavior

    I only learned this during the pandemic when i started working from home and my work laptop would wake up at 1am, fans blasting 100%

    Or my laptop would wake up in my backpack during my commute and drain the whole battery…

    I opened a helpdesk ticket and they didnt know why. Their solution was “just turn off your laptop”…

    After doing my owm digging, i realized S3 was gone and windows just does whatever the fuck it wants
