External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on InstantGo. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20140611164700/http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/D/F/ADF5BEDE-C0FB-4CC0-A3E1-B38093F50BA1/windows8-hardware-cert-requirements-system.pdf to http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/D/F/ADF5BEDE-C0FB-4CC0-A3E1-B38093F50BA1/windows8-hardware-cert-requirements-system.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Drawbacks/controversy section[edit]

Based on the number of users trying to switch this mode off, or the blog articles teaching how to do it, the article probably needs this kind of section (drains battery unnecessarily, provokes system crashes, laptops can overheat if placed inside a bag, ...)

This feature aged poorly. It should have been mostly fixed by now, and S3 an equivalent but lesser legacy feature. But certain folks doubled-down on it by getting rid of S3, without fixing the problems. I guess the word "modern" should have been a red flag(marketing word). Implying that it isn't a downgrade update. It's actively regressive, so the word should probably be post-modern. :P There's been progress to at least get Microsoft to admit that it needs some fixes like not ignoring rather a power adapter is connected. 74.194.161.186 (talk) 15:39, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
