BIOS guide

It’s been a while since it was discussed, maybe there’s news:

  • Will there eventually be a charging hysteresis for all OSes, i.e. in BIOS? “Start charging at or below…” and “Stop charging at…”?

Other wishes:

  • Power button sleep indicator to work with all sleep states.

  • Device charge through usb can be turned off for sleeping/hibernating/powered down state.
    Even better: turn on/off separately for each port. That way, disks can spin down (and stop blinkenlights) that are on port A while the phone on port B is still charged.

  • A similarly differentiated wake on usb. Useful eg, to wake only when the keyboard sends a key but not when someone bumps against the table and jerks the mouse. (Needs them to be not on the same port via hub, of course.)
