Comment on ULTRARAM may be a silly name but it's the holy grail for memory tech and means your PC could hibernate for over 1,000 years

  I rarely hibernate my laptop for more than 10 years

    Yeah, only once in a decade or so.

      Out of an average century of use I find mine hibernates only about %10 of the time.

  When I die and my laptop gets put into a box and shoved in a dusty corner forgotten for generations I want my descendant to be able to open it in the year 3000 and see all the tabs I had open when I died.

  Honestly the time you can put your laptop to sleep is the least interesting part, but it’s hard the explain the other benefits to regular users

    I kind of assumed there must be some other motive at play here, sounds like it was something a tech writer was just fumbling.

  Such retention times are often probabilistic (ie. some percentage of bits have retained their proper value) and an “up to” value, which is negatively influenced by such things as the storage temperature and background radiation.

  In practice, it might be that the only useful retention time is only a small digit number of years.

  Speak for yourself, fellow human. When I go into deep sleep mode, sometimes I forget to set auto wake routine and wake up years later.
