# The Power Kind: whether the machine is allowed to go fast.
#
# A laptop that is throttled by its power plan, its power mode or by running on battery
# looks identical to a slow laptop until someone checks.

# The GUID Windows uses for the Power saver plan, and the overlay GUIDs for the power
# mode slider. Invariant across languages, which is why they are matched rather than the
# display text - the Target Machine estate is German.
