alt Hacker NewsI know it is trying to be funny. But those states are quite normal in modern computer with advanced power management. OS should handle wakeups from deep sleep, or state where temperature of motherboard is 200 celsius.

Sleep / hibernate doesn't change anything here - if the computer is in those states, no code is running so it doesn't make sense to query for it, which is the joke. The function isn't called was_computer_running().
Unlikely. Nothing is specced beyond 140 Celsius and many parts not beyond 80.
