Website prevents computer falling asleep

I can’t speak for The Man generally; but in my capacity as a corporate IT minion we hate the tendency of computers to go to sleep when they ought not to (looking at you the entire transition from good, honest, S3 to ‘modern standby’); and would just tell everything to run in full ecological murder mode 24/7 if that were an option.

Things like patch management get vastly lousier when systems just start dropping off the grid the moment people aren’t using them; but the people using them still resent getting a facefull of updates or a forced reboot when they are using them.
