I do but if I leave for an hour or two I just put it on sleep. I have an ssd so in reality it doesn't really matter if I turn it off, I would just need to put in my password.
>>
No because I'm not a poorfag who cares about a couple dollars on my electricity bill.
>>
I put it to sleep because I live in the same room as it.
>>
>>51747500
does it harm my pc to leave it on for weeks at time?
>>
>>51747500
Yes, I turn off my home file servers since its in my room. The noticable quitness is pretty comforting
>>
I leave mine on. The gentle whirr of airflow puts me to sleep. So comfy senpai
>>
Computer yes
Laptop no
>>
>>51747500
I always turn it off, more out of habit though. I have an SSD so it isn't really a problem.

May I ask why do you guys leave it on? Just idling? Seeding?
>>
Yeah. It usually goes days without any use since
1). It's kinda shitty and old (2008 old)
and
2). My iPad is my primary shitposting tool
>>
I turn it off when I go to bed and turn it on when I wake up. Unless I'm leaving it running for a specific reason ovenight.

It doesn't really matter either way though.
>>
on because its an unstable piece of shit and i get worried it might not turn on again if i turn it off for the night
>>

I don't understand this. Do you have a little keyboard for it? Did you never learn to type home row, and therefore don't understand how much quicker using a keyboard can be?
>>
>>51747500
No fucking way.
My countryis going through an economical crisis. Can't afford stupid huge ass bills.
>>
>>51747500
That's a man.
>>
Mine runs backups late at night after I go to sleep. Then in the morning before work I just shut it down for the day.

No.
>>
no, I just put it to sleep
>>
Mine lasts weeks, is this bad?
>>
I put mine to sleep unless I need it running for something.
>>
>>51747500
Only my server, because I don't want it to melt and my website isn't finished anyway

Of course I do. I have no reason to leave it running overnight. That is what seedboxes are for
>>
I don't turn any of my hardware off unless it's for important updates and that's only because of hard reboots.

Plus my workstation acts like a heater and saves me money by not turning the main heating on.
>>
Nope, leave it on. Just replaced all my fans with noctuas too, shits quiet.

Usually litecoin mining overnight so that it heats the room a bit.
