remove the pointless energy-saving plan.
I think "pointless" is quite subjective in this situation.
For me the power saving plan is quite useful since 50% of the time I have 2 laptops on my desk, and sometimes even three.
For me it is quite useful to have the laptop stand by after a few minutes since I don't always know in advance if I will need to get back to a laptop in 10 seconds, 3 minutes or 1 hour.
Also, the use case for which I posted here is the following:
- I start a file transfer to/from SD cards, external HDDs, external SSDs, network locations, internet ftp locations.
- The transfer can take anywhere from a few seconds to over 1 hour
- I need the transfer to be completed and then the laptop can go into standby according to power settings even if I'm not in the room when the transfer completes.
- Even if I'm still in the room I may be deep into a different task which takes up all my attention and there would be a waste of energy to have the laptop just stay on indefinitely until I remember to check on the file transfer.
For example see attachment. It's the second time I had to start this transfer because I got pulled into a meeting while this transfer was going on. When I got back, the laptop was off and upon starting the MC transfer window was there but the transfer was stuck.
