Kaby Lake laptop creeps me out
I have an HP bs-017ca with a failed left hinge, which means I have to leave it open all the time.
I usually put it into sleep mode after using Windows 10, which means that it will boot up to grub with the default option set to Q4OS (Debian 10-based).
A few weeks ago I noticed that it randomly started up from sleep while it was sitting in the corner of my room. Then tonight, I heard a random Q4OS system sound before seemingly returning to sleep mode! That was after I put it into sleep from Windows 10 a couple days ago.
Did I mention that it will now send itself to sleep a minute or so after logon (in Windows 10) if the battery is relatively low?
No wonder why I don't really bother with it.
update: and now it made another sound, and it's at the desktop now! this is kinda weird...

My father had an HP Elitebook that would randomly turn itself on. He'd shut it down (completely shut it down - not hibernate or sleep) and out of nowhere at random times it would boot up. Maybe it's an HP thing. His was a Core 2 Duo.
HP laptops...
Yup, they are known for faulty power circuitry. Everything down to buttons.
I had one that was incapable of entering sleep altogether. DV6t-2000.
