Check wake-on-lan settings, windows power settings, update settings, bios.

>Was reading an article about how the NSA remotely controls our computers when my computer randomly shuts off

A friend had this around 2006. He downloaded music via Limewire

it would happen when I went out too, made me paranoid that my family was snooping around my computer

if not fully shut down, maybe windows has some tasks scheduled, like hdd defrag or some shit like that?

is this a jojo reference?

sleep doesn't mean turned off

Link?

my switch says its off, so its off.

if you got an intel/amd/qualcom/apple/android/microsoft/nitendo/sony device you were fucked the moment you spent money on it, its all backdoored and hacks your other devices

put your carkeys/phone/rfidchiped cards in the microwave, turn off your wifi, cancel your phone and internet services, get an old car and live a few months offline.
if you are a person of interest somebody will try to keep you online at all costs so they can watch you, otherwise you may be fine for now

>PC running Debian

Truly my greatest fear.

...

>using the internet

you know it was developed by DARPA, right?

this actually happened two times to me, spooked to death

Could be sign of a bad PSU. I've dealt with this shit before

>PC running GNU/Linux

no replies to the actual solution?

/x/ shits are some of the biggest losers, they just post the same 5 red eye images and post "spoopy"

For fuck's sake, just get it done.

This happens a lot with my W10 laptop, I shitpost a bit, lock it and then put it in sleep mode but when I come back it's fully unlocked and with firefox closed.

I've forcefully disabled updates and live alone if that matters, i know I could just install arch, 7 or even W10 enterprise ltsb n on it but I'm too lazy.

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

"why was it off?"

Because I have an electric bill to pay and it had no reason to be on.

>People who don't shut down their computer when they're done with it

thoroughly spooped, got to make sure

>not disconnecting the power cord every night

>reading some spoopy shit

It was louder and spoopier in kurvaspeak, though.

>turn off computer go to bed
>ethernet starts blinking

You got fucked by Intel IME.

oh, i do, i'm just never done with it

Like if I'm downloading a lot of shit at night I'll leave my PC on. It's better done during the night and not disrupt people than in the day and make the internet slow as shit.

This , but unfortunately this function is literally fucked on 40% devices.

Use powercfg - lastwake or the event viewer to see what caused it, if it's wake source unknown it was windows update which has a retarded task set to wake your computer just to notify there are updates. You'll have to fuck with group policy to kill that off.

It's more fun to fuck with noobs and post memes than it is to violate the goddamn sticky.

>the auto sleep and auto monitor turning off feature detects your presence if you are close and turns itself on again
>it also detects if you want to use it from a distance and then turns itself on again

psychic PC works about 40% of the time. Basically can even yell at it and it may turn itself on, kek.

thats it throwing out my laptop
