Swap out some laptop's batteries via hibernation mode
Authored by: Anonymous on Dec 06, '06 03:57:01PM

This is a bad hint because it makes wrong assumptions and spreads bad information about how safe sleep works. As long as you don't mess around with those unnecessary safe sleep scripts, a capable computer will automatically use safe sleep. When the computer goes to sleep, it writes the RAM contents to the hard drive but goes to normal sleep. During this time, you can swap out the batteries. While you are doing this, if the computer powers off, it's okay. When you put then new battery in, it will resume from the saved RAM contents on the hard drive.

The quality of hints on this website have been going downhill lately...
