    I feel like it’s such a waste of energy when powering off your computer when you’re not using it is so easy.

      The standby drain is negligible and it allows for the device to stay updated and synced.

        A lot of negligible things added together can make a lot.

        My computers are perfectly up to date by just running the software update manager while using them.

        But of course, being veggie, not having kids, biking or walking has a bigger impact than just turning off your computer.

        As I have two lovely kids and my work involves a lot of car travel, I can’t blame you for not turning off your computer though 😇
