Stephen,
Oh, yeah, I'm 100% with you on that "the always-on machine" idea.
Especially if the box is a Windoze CAD station: all kinds of maintenance
stuff doesn't get done if you decide to let the thing sleep/hibernate!
Another thing, just recently I forgot to power down all my Proxmox nodes
when I was going to be away (and inattentive) for a few days. All four
of them are retired vintage towers that I scavenged from the company I
used to work for, and since they used to be CAD stations themselves they
ain't exactly "economical," even when they're virtually idling, doing
Proxmox. :D
Actually got an email notice from SRP about the increase in power usage
they had seen at my place, and did I want to do a "power audit!" :O

Usually, clearing the RAM does the trick. And that's the only way to tell
the firmware to do it. I am not a fan of the always-on machine.

Yup. I've seen the same thing happen with a number of laptops running
various OSes.
Some kind of power button issue where only a complete clearing of any
power in that button will allow it to work. I sounds just like a
capacitor reset, and I wouldn't be surprised if there actually was a
capacitor somewhere in there that is making it happen.
