I struggle with this for my personal computer. The TV-computer combo shuts off the monitor (triggers the tv to shut off when there is no input) after an hour. An hour after that it’s suspended, works well.
My personal computer though, sometimes I shut off the monitor, most of the time I let it run for the day completely powered. I have yet to set any type of shutdown or standby because typically I use it more than I do my tv (work, gaming, videos, etc on the comp). I know there’s some power conservation I need to consider for motivation, I have no security concern atm with my standard main account and everything private is layered so inaccessible.
tl;dr
what’s everyone else’s setup like for when they walk away from the computer?
i keep forgetting there are people who never turn their machines off
and its always wild to see
turn it off, as it should be when you are away
It’s kinda weird I could understand the habit a decade or two ago when computers were still mainly using harddrives and some were just…slow hunks of junk.
But the majority of my peers I know who keep their PCs on for weeks or months at a time, All run at least a Sata SSD for the boot drive.
