Do you turn off your computer every night and why?

no

I just close the lid because it's a laptop

Nah I just put them in suspend.

Is there a reason I would shut them down ?
I'm curious about why.

Yes because I have an SSD

Yes because it saves electricity and Im not using it. How retarded are u

yes because it's what I've always done.

>>56652060
what does having an ssd have to do with leaving it off?

Why would I not

>>56651972
I turn it off because my wife doesn't want me to keep it running and i have an ssd

>>56652098
it boot in 10 sec, why leave it to sleep if it boot in such a short time ?

>>56652098
>what does having an ssd have to do with leaving it off?

Because my computer boots in 10 seconds

>>56651972
Nop, my torrents, eMule and I'm lazy, electricity is cheap where I live

>>56651972
Why would you not turn it off what a dumb question

>>56652145
10 secs is too long, i just put it in hibernation/sleep mode like a normal person

>>56651972
why wouldn't you unless you were using it as a torrent box or server?

>wastes electricity
>unnecessarily kills the lifespan of your parts including the fans

>>56652181
>doesn't know what sleep mode is

>>56652181
I leave it on because my computer unofficially serves files to the rest of the house.

>>56652169
This. Boots in 3 seconds on HDD, which means it would boot before you press anything on SSD.

rather load desktop PC, sleeping next to it I could keep it running but choose to turn it off

usually hibernation

>>56652218
loud*

Yes.
Because there is no reason not to.

>>56651972
I turn it off when I don't use it in general, why wouldn't I?

>>56652212
This, all my 10TB files are on my computer older computer. If I turn off it, I don't have access to my files with my laptop/the other computers on my home network.

Can someone ban this retard for posting unrelated images already?

I sit on my computer all day every day and either leave it running and downloading or to sleep when I sleep for a couple hours whenever I get tired.

>>56651972
servers and desktops never get shutdown, except for the piece of shit windows laptop I need for school that I have to reboot every time I want to use it since the performance goes to shit

No. Whenever I get away from my "main" computer (be it for an hour, for a night, or for 2 week vacations), I expect everything to be avaialble exactly the way I left it the second I get back.
Also: I alawys have some downloads and processes either running or scheduled.
Also: night time is the best time for backups/rsync.
Also: the additional cost of electricity is negligible (a tiny fraction of the general costs of living) and I don't give a fuck about "environment".

Depends on if /g/ considers suspending to RAM as turning your computer off or not. I do that unless I have something for the computer to do during night.

I never ever turn off my PC unless if I have to do something to it, or Windows updates restart it.

>>56651972
Yes, and I do it for two reasons:
>I boot fast enough that it doesn't matter if I'm waking from sleep or cold boot
>It removes the encryption keys from RAM

>>56651972
>Yes
>Don't like to sleep with the fan noise

>>56652954
I have the same exact problem. My fans are so fucking loud that I'm unable to sleep if my computer is on. So I turn it off every night.

>>56651972
Sleep

no, i leave it on 24/7. whenever a wind storm takes down the power i find it hard to sleep because i'm so used to sound of fans running

Yes, because i am not using my pc 24/7 and it boots in just a few seconds anyway.

no. I dont suspend or hibernate either

>>56651972

Yes, because my room gets hot as fuck if I don't.

>>56653120
I know right. When will people realize that constant power on and off cycles damages computer components through excessive thermal exmansion and contraction

just leave your computers on idiots

>>56651972

No because I'm not so poor that I can't afford an extra $5 a year on my electric bill.

I like being able to keep open programs overnight (especially without losing my connection), like refreshing /g/ threads and receiving messages

the noise also helps me sleep since the nice, uniform hum of the tower is much better than noises from outside

You should get a RPI then, uses less power and you can use it as a 24/7 home server and seedbox.

>“Leaving a computer on all the time is less stressful than turning it off and on several times a day — but it is a constant stress,” says Steven. “Every time a computer powers on, it has a small surge of power as everything spins up, and if you are turning it on multiple times a day, it can shorten the computer’s lifespan.”

>“If you use your computer more than once a day, leave it on at least all day,” says Steven, “If you use it in the morning and at night, you can leave it on overnight as well. If you use your computer for only a few hours once a day, or less often, turn it off when you are done.”

>>56651972

because custom water cooling loops have a lifespan.
having my PC on has no benefit for me and my uses

What I normally do is turn my computer off every night before I go to sleep, unplug it, take the motherboard out, smash it with a hammer then go to sleep. When I wake up I buffer out the dents, glue some pieces back together, plug my computer back in and turn it on. Some functions act up now and then, but for the most part it works great.

i dont, while at school: because my university pays for the electric bill. So fuck them, internet is shit and food sucks. ill take what i can get

If you use your PC a lot, you might as well leave it on all the time, and use something like sleep or hibernate.

Having an SSD is more reason to keep it turned on, as the idle power consumption will be lower

My computer turns off all fans when not under load, so its silent at night as well

and im not running a retarded operating system that "alerts" randomly when im sleeping; lol at the retards that use that as a reason

logging on, mounting drives, launching applications, all takes more than 3 seconds everyone is claiming

I get the impression the people who turn their computer off are the ones that use their computers primarily for facebook and video games

>>56651972
No, there is no reason to, just put it into standby.

On an unrelated note, why are so many threads lately started with an unrelated image?

>>56651972
Nope; at night is when it runs backups, and batch jobs I have scheduled.

I don't want to run any renders or backups when I'm using it, those can wait until night. Plus I have electric heat, so I might as well get some use out of the energy, rather than just wasting the power to heat things up.

>>56653510
>why are so many threads lately started with an unrelated image?
Probably people from /b/ or /pol/ or /tv/ who think they can start a thread with some random image to get people to look at it.

Also, hibernation/sleep uses so little power that it's really not an argument.
And a lot of modern components shut off when not being used like fans and other items.

>>56653496
Isn't it better to keep your SSD powered anyways as to not promote data loss?

I turn it off when I know I won't be using it for about 8 or more hours

>>56653629
And it will continue to be a big problem. The biggest problem is completely unrelated shitposting or redundant retarded stuff like the gpu wars.

Your original comment is an example of the former.

There is no need for that image and this is not shitposting but rather a discussion of board meta which has fallen out of content.
Off topic shit has run rampant for too long, you can't keep ignoring it.

No never, the screens go to sleep after 25 minutes though.

how do u fuckin sleep with it on I can only sleep with no sound and no light at all

I used to leave it on 24/7.

Then the capacitors on my 780 blew out.

I turn it off every night now.

>>56653769

I can only sleep with a big 18' fan blowing towards me.

>>56653706
It has always been like that and will continue for as long as you keep complaining.

The requirement to post is not to have a relevant picture and text, but to have relevant content. His question was relevant so that's good enough.

If you disagree then take it up with the owners who wrote the rules.

>>56651972
I just lock it and then turn off the monitors.

I turn off my computer whenever I leave for more than 15m so it lasts longer

>>56651972
Yes.
I pay my power bill.

>>56651972
Yes because I'm not home all day due to demanding work.

Easier to just turn it on when I need it, instead of leaving it running and feeling obligated to do shit when I should be sleeping.

No.
I usually have some automated task running.

My power cord isn't right next to my bed, so I turn it off and set it to the side before I turn out the light.

/g/ told me to just use hibernate with my SSD, so I haven't shut it down for 2 years I think

>>56651972
Yes because fan noise and sleep mode doesn't really work

My PC wakes for no fucking reason

>>56651972
I shutdown then switch off the power switch, I've read the the cia can hack into your pc while it hibernates and program the computer to kill your family while they all sleep, it then plants all evidence on you then goes back into hibernation, im not taking any chances.

>>56651972

I just want him to rest too as he works hard for me everyday.

Yes. Because It saves energy, also it's a laptop and the battery is totally dead and I have to carry it to class and all over a lot so I'd have to unplug it anyway...

>>56654275
Yeah I can't be bothered to unplug my mouse every time I want to sleep

>>56654447
of course not
in the past you would go into devices and there'd be a setting for the USB device allowing it to wake up or not

>>56651972
Yes
I'm afraid terrible things might happen if I leave my PC online unattended while sleeping
And that's even though I know I wouldn't notice if I got hacked either way

>>56651972
I suspend it every night, and restart it once a week to refresh my ram.

Got myself an ssd. So yeah! Won't lie though, my ducky shine 5 Backlight effect (on waterfall mode) has sent me to sleep before admittedly.

>>56651972
i restart once a week. systems start to behave weird.
(both my mbp and windows laptop)

>>56651972
Yes.
I like starting from a "clean slate" every morning, and I don't like the blinking standby light when I'm trying to sleep.

the work notebook goes to sleep and only restarts when IT pushes a necessary update. too much corporate image crap to be interested in restarting any more frequently.

personal desktop gets shut down daily because it books quickly, and (while i don't think it makes any real tangible difference on overall life of the parts) i like knowing i'm only using the machine when i'm there.

yes. I don't like to hear the fan noises when I'm asleep

>>56651972
Yes.
I have a small radiator as PC (good airflow)
I don't like to wake up in sweat.

>>56651972
If I turn my computer off overnight, one of the top vent fans will start making noises when I start up the following day.

>>56651972
>Do you turn off your computer every night

I am the one paying the electricity bills.

no, I keep all programs running with info and I just put it to sleep

>>56653120
>wasting component lifetime
if you mean "suspend to RAM" = "wasting component lifetime", then you are wrong, turning it off does that.

>>56652774
of course it isn't, parts of the computer are still running. turning it off implies closing everything

>>56653510
marketing people asking questions

It has to be dead silent for me to sleep so yes I turn my computers off.

>>56651972
My ThinkPad's ACPI support on Linux is broken, so on resume, all media keys as well as any subsequent powersave features do not work any more.

So I just shut down the machine after finishing work.

This.

You fucking autistic losers sperging out about 10 seconds vs 3 seconds to start your computer up. As if your time has any value in the first place.

I have a laptop that I practically never turn off or close. During the night I like to let youtube autoplay interviews while I sleep

Depends on if I have a process running or if I feel I have bandwidth to burn (U-S-A) and seed all night.

I pay a fixed amount for electricity (student home) so I don't really give a shit. I leave it on.

>>56660000

Sleep (suspend) uses ~5W, which ends up being less than $5 A YEAR in electricity.

Strange thing was, i bought new monitor and disconected PC from power source, while it was in sleep mode, but when i turn it on again. Everything was still open and fine, just like i left it in sleep. So basically my understanding sleep mode basically doesnt use any energy and disables everything.

>>56662060
No, you're just using "hybrid sleep" which means that in addition to sleep you get hibernation as a backup in case power goes out.

>>56651972

I turn it off at night. I also turn out the lights. There's no point in leaving them on.

>>56651972

Leave desktop on. Some say to leave it on not to wear it out, but leaving it seems like it would wear it out even more.

I leave my computer on, but lately when it goes to hibernate mode, I can't wake it or turn it on or off unless I cycle the surge protector power strip thing.

Any ideas?

I turn it off, because I have a liquid cooler and I don't want to burn out the motor.

I shut my computer down to minimize memory leakage and to save power

>>56672898
>tfw I have a liquid cooler in my server that I leave running 24/7

>All these yes answers
Proof /v/ is among us.

Rapid cooling/heating of components causes extremely small scale molecular damage.

It's best to keep your PC on and at a stable temperature when possible to maximize the lifespan of your components.

>>56652026
Kernel updates or just clearing the ram to start fresh

>>56651972
yes if I put it on standby the light flashes and it annoys me when I try to sleep

>>56674487
fuck me.

Here's some solutions that take approximately 20 seconds to accomplish

1) Disconnect POWER LED on your motherboard header

2) Get a small strip of dark tape and cover the light

mine goes to sleep after like 2 hours. its comfy i just leave on a movie or stream or whatever when i goto bed, and when i wakeup its in sleep mode :^)

I always shut it down and turn off the power strip.

>>56674309
Maybe if you're a gamer restarting your games a million times to test settings or something. CPUs don't typically use BGA and the GPU doesn't get hit that hard at boot anyway. The only parts I've had fail from wear and tear are fans and mechanical hard drives, and those were on the computers I left on 24/7.

Saved power and protects against some power surges.

I leave it on. I only pay $80 usd a month for gas and electric

>>56651972
saving energy

>>56651972
No.

Because otherwise Windows 10 will update and maintain itself when I'm using it and go slow as hell as a result.

>>56675490
ive had zero issues with this. what do you have like 1mbps internet?

>>56651972
Yes. I don't like the sound, nor the lights from my fans when I'm trying to sleep.

I turn my desktop off whenever I'm not using it because otherwise it's just wasting power. It takes just a matter of seconds to boot from my SSD. I just close the lid on my T420 to suspend whenever I'm not using it.

>>56662307
This wears out the SSD faster though.

>>56675521
you cant really wear out any new SSD. it takes like a trillion hours of constant re writing or some shit lol

>>56675505
It's not the internet speed, it's the hard disk contention during update and maintenance. It's a non issue with an i7 and an SSD, but on an i3 with HDD you'll feel it.

>>56675510

honestly only a PSU is likey to fail and that's over years I can pay to get another PSU by that time.

most componets only die because you don't understand that near a PSU's death it gives out surges because parts are dying.

>>56676051
why the hell is your desktop running at 80c at idle?
mine uses less than 50 watts idle, with temps in the 30s on cpu, and upper to mid 40s on gpu (with fan off)
have you tried not using amd trash?

My computer is in my bedroom, and I'm really particular about having my room be as dark and as quiet as I can get it when I sleep

>>56676085
Laptops m8.

Still, if it's idling at 80 C, you've got a shitty one with really bad cooling, or it's clogged up with matted dust, or you have malware keeping the CPU at near full utilization all the time.

An i5 T410 with an ssd is about 300 bucks jamal.

>not using it

>>56676548
Yes. Because nobody could ever possibly want more than 240 GB of space, and it's not like 1 TB laptop HDDs cost around the same.

Honestly the performance with a normal HDD is perfectly acceptable on Windows 8.1 and 10, so long as you don't have Windows pushing shit around in the background while you're using it.

I never understanded the difference between sleep and hibernate.

For some reason hibernate uses HDD space and sleep mode doesn't.
I think i disabled hibernate on mc PC so i only use sleep mode overnight.

Also is it true when the PC is in sleep mode the PSU takes a hit because it has constantly push low power?

My GPU fan is too loud and I am too sensitive for me to consider it.

>>56651972
yes because $

Yes because I pay for electricity and have SSDs anyway, if it's a laptop I just put it in sleep.

I left it on at night for torrents and shits. I work all day so I have it off at day instead.

No.

Mostly it's just habit. I used to run some services on my main computer. Torrents, instant message bouncer, TOR note, etc. I have a server for that now, but I still leave my main on. Maybe I don't trust session save and restore?

Anyways, the power drain is minimal enough that I just don't care to reconsider based on that alone.

Media server/torrent box.

So, no. Only for upgrades or cleaning.

Never. I play music to go to sleep and what.cd
Gotta keep that ratio up at all times.

>I was only pretending to be retarded
You're such a butthurt dumb boy. Also, I'm a woman.

I turn it off at night, mostly because of the sound my pc used to make + the leds.
My current pc is silent and doesnt have leds so i dont have to but im used to it.

Besides i have an ssd so booting takes like 20sec, and i dont want to put my pc to sleep because it will write my ram to a system pagefile, thats 16gb of writing / deleting every time the pc goes to sleep, thats got to be bad for ssd life expectancy

>>56677194
>it will write my ram to a system pagefile
It's hiberfil.sys and you can make it smaller, even by default it's not 100% of your RAM.
You can also disable it, but then if power goes out you'll have a dirty reset.

Also, stop fucking worrying about your SSD.

>>56676614
>Also is it true when the PC is in sleep mode the PSU takes a hit because it has to constantly push low power?

Can someone answer this?

>>56677492
Sleep uses a tiny amount of power, yes. Not sure what "takes a hit" is supposed to mean.
And if you want 0.0W you need to physically unplug the cable or at least switch off the PSU. Merely shutting down isn't enough.

I would if I could. It has posting issues so until I replace it I keep it on.

>>56677542
>Not sure what "takes a hit" is supposed to mean.

Well a PSU isn't really designed to output only 5W in long periods of time, thats why im asking if sleep mode does any damage to the PSU.

You must be new here. Lurk moar fucking newfag.

>>56677578
As I said, it's always outputting a tiny amount of power anyway.
Based on my experience it's not a real issue. The most important thing is to buy a good quality PSU if you want it to last long.

>>56677578
Are you retarded?

>Hybrid Sleep mode is a combination of the Sleep and Hibernate modes meant for desktop computers. It puts any open documents and applications in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state, allowing you to quickly wake the computer and resume your work.

So is Hybrid Sleep just sleep mode? This doenst make any sense. Why does it put anything on the HDD when it puts it already in the memory?
Is Hybrid Sleep a meme?

>>56677631
It's a sleep mode that can survive power loss, I guess.

>>56677631
Because if power goes out during sleep you can still recover from hibernation.

It's not a meme, it's the best option available.

Yes, to save myself from PC noise. I don't like standby because from what I know it can cause problems and maybe even corruption on Linux in the long run. I also like to wipe memory, caches and terminate any rogue processes I may have going on. As an SSD user, reboots aren't a problem.

>>56677674
Does power loss during sleep mode fuck up the OS?

>>56651972
Yeah, I have 5 second HDD boot times (runit init with custom boot scripts), why wouldn't I?

no, because i fall asleep while watching videos on it

implying current electronics can't handle power cycles

Yes. Cause it gets somewhat slow.

>>56661496
>average day in Sweden

i also don't turn it off during the day, or ever really.

>>56651972
No. I have tinnitus, so I need the background noise to sleep decently.

i retart it every hour. sum it guy i kno says it refreshes the megaherts or sumshit idk senpai

Yes I have a server that does menial tasks so that's always on
The desktop is put to sleep during the night and then I turn it on again after I get home from work
I also pay the electrical bill and see the huge difference than if I were to leave it in 24/7

>>56651972
>you_fags_will_fight_about_anything.jpg
I don't bother turning my desktop off. I like having quick access to the machine and most PSUs are rated for low power modes when the computer is idle. The whole "wear and tear" argument is negligible at this point. If you care about your parts try vacuuming around the device sometime you fucking neckbeards.

>>56678628

>>56651972
Depends on the fucking machine.

>>56677695
no... you know how pagefile/swap works right?

>>56651972
yea, if machine is idle.

No, I leave my laptop on all night seeding torrents, and turn it off when I go out during the day.

Otherwise the annoying green leds on my gpu will bother me when I'm trying to sleep

>>56652026

>>56651972
Yes, because AMD.

>>56677289
Ah yes, forgot the exact file name. But still, theres no reason to keep it on (for me), so why not save a little on power / write cycles.

Every black/white mixed people are like that

I turn my desktop off when I'm nitty using it because I have a FX-9590. It heats my whole fucking room. I left it on when I was getting breakfast yesterday and the room was 10°F hotter.

>>56654217
This. I used to put it in sleep. Then it started waking up at 3am making constant HDD noise. Tried disabling mouse as wake up, stopping scheduled jobs, nada. In the end once I got an SSD in there it's easier just to shut down.

Also, took longer to go to sleep than shutdown.

>>56652060
I have 2 SSDs and my computer is on 24/7. Literally no connection between these two things, dude.

>>56677492
ATX PSUs are on 100% of the time. Which means they ARE constantly pushing low power even when the computer is turned off. Obviously the power draw from being turned off is much smaller.

Yes it's called "Turn on fast startup"

>>56682597
Fast startup is a just gimmick to make brainless normies think their PC boots faster.
You're not supposed to use it if you have a brain.

Yes. The GPUs have lights that can't be turned off. Even on X99 my m.2 SSD boots in like 20 seconds. I have no reason not to save a bit of electricity, prevent OS rot and turn it off.

On 24/7 unless I leave the city. Maybe it's why my main HDD has 60k+ hours.

people who leave their shit on 24/7 are actually tech illiterate

>>56676614
Sleep keeps your RAM powered with a low voltage to keep its contents. If it's a laptop it will slowly drain the battery over something like a few weeks. If it's a desktop it will draw a few watts.

Hibernate saves RAM contents to disk and then turns all the way off. It consumes zero power, and you can even disconnect the power and take it apart while it's hibernated. But don't change the hardware since you will need a full fresh boot to recognize the changes.

So, use sleep if you're putting your laptop in your bag for a few hours or leaving your desktop and don't want it driving up your power bill. Use hibernate if you're leaving it for days, weeks or longer but don't want to lose your open programs like you would if you shut down.

>>56677492
It doesn't hurt the PSU any more than using a phone charger hurts it.
