Do you turn your computer off at night?

**riffer** · 31st May 2007, 22:09

LOL.

Just checked my smoothie. It hasn't been touched since our last powercut.

75 days...

The other computers (well, all the *nix ones at least - can't say the same for the windows ones) have had similar uptimes too...

I just leave mine on 24/7 playing music... don't think its been turned off in the last 4 years apart from power cuts

Huh. look at your load times.

Like that kind of usage is going to crash it.

Still, my smoothie says 0.00 0.00 0.00

I guess routing doesn't push them hard.

if only I could get generator circuits that were just as reliable

My smoothie is made up of a banana, frozen berries, yoghurt and soy milk. When I'm routing I push REAL hard.

I turn it off at night, because I don't know any different.

I always turn mine off at night, work and home.

No sense in wasting power when I'm not gonna use it for ages.

I like banana smoothies - but I didn't realise they would keep that long, hope you kept it in the fridge.

Is a mac considered a PC now days?
I turn off every night, or the wife might get on there and find somin, if it's off she's too lazy to turn it on.

Same here, can't abide wasting power! I know mine wouldn't be drawing much but every little bit adds up! Besides, we live in the country and often have brief power cuts so if it's off, it won't cause any problems.

depending on the quality of the pc, it will need to be restarted periodically. They simply start struggling to add one and one, and get two.

I could leave my pc on, but my very black room feels like daylight with all the blue lights on. Sometimes I will leave it to get a torrent, and then set uTorrent to shut the computer down when finished.

Generally, depending on what sort of pc it is (low power settings, low wattage procs), it just uses the power, and if you aren't using it, no sense wasting it...

Mines too bloody noisy. If im downloading something or have something important running i leave it going, otherwise i generally switch it off...then i switch it on a couple hours later

I've never heard of an erection lasting so long...although that could be due to the average load? Not alot if you ask me
