That's actually an aspect of the Machine meta-trait, not an aspect of Digital Mind, though the Machine meta-trait also lacks appropriate advantages (it's effectively Metabolism Control 10 with Hibernation, but that's explicitly forbidden for machines).

I suppose it's actually something like:
Shutdown: 0
You are immune to starvation (B426) and suffocation (B436). If you would lose fatigue due to starvation or suffocation, you instead become unconscious; this persists until the lack is corrected, at which point you recover normally (this is effectively a limited form of Doesn't Breathe and Doesn't Eat or Drink, plus a disadvantage for going unconscious immediately).
