I came pretty close to playfully trying to have Microsoft cover a portion of my monthly electric bill.
Why? Because I set my dual-GPU gaming rig to sleep every night, and Windows feels the need to wake it up about an hour later, fail to do updates, and then leave the machine on the rest of the night, even with auto-sleep set for 30 minutes.
I noticed the problem a few weeks later, and by then my electricity bill had increased by 20 bucks.
