There's nothing save about turning off and on the hardware many times
consecutively. I could disconnect the disks to minimize the risks, but
then it won't be possible to test suspend to disk.

Still filing bug reports doesn't seem to achieve anything these days.

Just what they usually do: When you find out that a piece of hardware
doesn't work, you take it back to the store and either change it out

And they lose their warranty when they take it to a shop for an
inspection as required by the warranty because one of the mechanics
who's not named on the certificate drives it into the shop. Yeah, sure ...

Yet you say there are no such tools.
