How are game consoles and other computer devices able to turn themselves off and on again after an update?
In: Technology
The simple answer is that power isn’t controlled by a physical ON/OFF switch like electronics had up through the early 2000s. Part of the internal computer ALWAYS has some power as long as it’s plugged in. A part of the console’s program tells the system which parts of the system to power down and back up. It’s all digitally controlled now.
