Nice, didn't know this command existed! I'll add this to my future scripts where I need to log steps, saves me a few lines of code and just pipe to tee instead. Thanks for taking time, looking forward to some more!

Very well explained and also very interesting. I'd have needed to watch this 10 years ago, it would have changed a few things in my life.

i used 'echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state' to put my computer into sleep while also testing some things that seem to break it. I couldnt figure out whats going wrong, but the gist is that my computer takes like multiple hours to finally shut off and waking up just displays a garbled mess. I havent waited multiple hours to see if it would fix itself because i want to use my computer.
