Well, I'd never have guessed that. :thumbs:

So is this "Feature" only on HP laptops? Is there an "Event Log" somewhere that tells you the number of activations?

Anyway, somebody had better explain to the Fedora team the difference between the screen and the HDD and advise them that spinning the screen is hardly likely to save the HDD. :D
