No it doesn’t. Hibernation is a power-off mode where RAM is saved to disk and 
only occurs on a laptop when the battery runs down to 0% or thereabouts, or if 
you specifically put the machine into hibernate. You can tell because the 
screen comes on about 20% and you see a progress indicator as the image is read 
back into RAM. This takes a few seconds, even with an SSD. It could take a 
minute on a HD machine with a lot of RAM.

No you don’t.

Right, that doesn’t work anymore. It takes a button of some sort. Space bar, 
return, q, 0, whatever.  Might even work with a mouse click.

ice and limitless as the night sky. He remembered being summoned into
reluctant existence at the moment the first creature lived, in the
certain knowledge that he would outlive life until the last being in the
universe passed to its reward, when it would be his job, figuratively
speaking, to put the chairs on the tables and turn all the lights off.
He remembered the loneliness.
