I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

As the time goes I just miss my old laptop more and more. What's next, no shutdown feature?

Pretty soon, yeah. Try making sure a recent Macbook is actually offline.

That's one of the ideas with MRAM: buy your device already booted up, no more booting up or shutting down (...or reinstalling, or changing the OS).
