Today we were sending off a colleague at cuea and some stupid laptop thief decided to break into a car a won himself 2 laptops.lucky we nabbed the suspect and after some involvin the police he he was forced to disolose where the laptops were hidden. Funny enough he had a car parked near the scene of crime Anyway he is at karen hardy police station. On Jun 5, 2014 4:59 PM, "William Muriithi" <william.muriithi@gmail.com> wrote:
I have never tried before but I guess those who leave their laptops on hibernation run the risk of being found by strangers. Golden rule of thumbs: turn of your machine while on transit.
Think hibernation is fine, the problem may be suspend. Hibernate dump all the RAM contents to swap and turn off the laptop completely. Suspend leave some circuits active, but can't see why Bluetooth should be active to be Frank. I am curious to see how true this is, and will update this thread when I test it Muriithi
