Microsoft is pushing "Modern Standby" over actual sleep, so laptops can download and install updates while closed at night.

Apple has this. It's called Power Nap. But for some reason, it doesn't cause the same problems reported by people here on HN.

It doesn't cause the same problems because Apple's Power Nap is something you have to enable. It's an option for users who find it useful. It's not replacing traditional S3 sleep, wherein virtually everything is unpowered except a trickle to keep the RAM alive. Microsoft is supplanting traditional sleep with Modern Standby. You can disable Modern Standby, but only with registry jiggery-pokery, and Microsoft is pressuring OEMs to remove S3 support altogether.

It does cause the same problem but seems to be somewhat less frequent.
