Why need Wake on LAN when basically any USB input device can take your computer out of sleep?
This mac mini on uses less power than your desktop in sleep.
Your desktop also doesn't use 0 watts of power when off. If you have a gaming computer with a full power supply it's probably using a couple watts completely off. Vs an M1 Mac mini that uses about 1 or less watts in sleep.
Here you were saying the average user isn't going to use Wake on LAN, but you expect them to disable USB devices waking their computer?
I have my USB's disabled as well, but I was talking averages here.
He expects people to turn off their computer when they are done with it, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to expect. Apple is deliberately making it harder to use this computer in a way many people use their computer.
