"Shutting down your computer when you stop using it is wrong because... BECAUSE IT JUST IS OKAY"
>>
>>108686457
>he doesnt know why
you dont deserve to know why. you disgust me
>>
some of our computers do automated tasks while we're away, unlike niggers that just jabber on twitter and grindr
>>
>>108686457
If you use windows your computer isn't even shutting down
>>
>>108686457
No idea what you are talking about. Pretty sure any device with non ECC RAM should be turned off daily, at least weekly. But you would not want to do it many times per day if you have an HDD, which is increasingly rare this days.
>>108686471
They do nothing and idle, no idea where you got that from. All sorts of maintenance is already figured, SSDs trim, updates load in the background etc.
>>
>>108686457
Shutting down you PC is only bad if you use W10/11 and got Fast-Boot Enabled, which is on my default btw, and you should go turn it off if you're sitll on Windows for whatever reason.
>>
>>108686582
Why is Fast Boot bad?
>>
>>108686591
fastboot is one of those things that is responsible for a lot of crashes and general fuckery. it's one of the first things I disable along with the "sysmain" superfetch shit and fontcache.

ackshully turning your computer on from cold causes the most amount of stress to the motherboard, the power supply, and all components.
it wears them out quicker, thus lowering the life expectancy of your PC.
you should refrain from doing that.
>>
>>108686764
what if im in a hot climate and the pc isnt necessarily cold when i boot it
>>
>>108687040
its still cold. ever if your climate is 40C thats still cold in the world of electronics
>>
>>108686457
I shut down my computer when I stop using it. Once every couple months.
>>
>>108686642
RAM with error correction. Computer being on for a long time accumulates errors in RAM. Literally flipped bits grow by an hour. For a gayming machine it matters not, but any server would be exclusively on ECC RAM.
>>
>>108686591
fast boot silently replaces shutdown button with hybrid sleep button, meaning you get electrical shutdown but logical it's close to hybernate and all lingering bugs keep piling up, updates and group policies do not apply, caches do not flush etc.
>>
>>108687163
NTA, but I use 'nigger'/'nigga' as well but it's mostly because it's such a powerful word that feels good to use. Like saying 'kanker' in Dutch
>>
>>108687197
I actually had more harsh reaction socially for saying "kanker" than I've had for saying "neger" in public setting. I use both casually from time to time and only kanker has gotten me in trouble at work before.

It is because people use your pc for crypto mining while you sleep. Microsoft, google and apple also steal child porn directly from children, it gets saved on onedrive, and they store it in data-servers in India, where pajeets look at it, cartoonify it, and posts it on /b/.
You think what they want you to think.

Finally it makes sense.
But who posts it on /g/ then?
>>
>>108687669
Mods dont allow it, but pajeets would shit up this board if they could. Weird question, are you trying to troll me??

Shutting it off daily is pointless and a waste of time. A couple times every month is fine.

To say the N word its what separate us from AI bots.

other than restarts for updates my desktop has been running 24/7 since 2014

nah, I'm downloading a 50GB file from a server on a 500Kbps line, I do this every other week

when i was a kid my dad would tell me to shut down the PC because it was tired and needed a rest to work properly.
i still do it 30 years later. it just needs some rest sometimes. we all do
>>
>>108686457
I just let it go to sleep

Hmm that's interesting. Is that because nigger is widespread on 4chan or is it because niggers are niggers ?
I mean i could say negro but i never see this word. I wonder if i could say negro in Hispanic countries and people wouldn't care. I like more negro than nigger actually plus you in spanish you can say negro negra for the nigress. Niglet is nice but i prefer the world negrillon from french sounds more like the little negrillon like the little dumb nigger.

I saw little negrillon last time they were cute tho,i could fuck over a big negro because they're such repulsive creatures when they grow up but at the same time little niggerinos are cute like all kids plus they were looking at me with awe even if i'm totally white. Oh well. Each race should stay in their homeland and all of that shit wouldn't happen. I don't want to kill kids or make them suffer but niggers are so bad,they really have no education and when they do they still act like arrogant motherfucking negros. Such an annoying race, i could just be racist without fucks given but i'm too smart for that ,leftist and normies are positive racists and they're the dumbest motherfuckers you'd see in life,make sense.
>>
>>108686457
windows users arent allowed to shut down
>>
>>108687227
Probably the same way "cunt" gets extreme reactions in english countries I guess. Weird what triggers normies.
>>
>>108686457
I unplug my PC every night because my PC has been damaged by lightning strikes and power surges before so I'm kind of shook about the whole ordeal.
>>
>>108690812
Why not buy a surge protector or better yet a UPS?
>>
>>108686591
This>>108687189
Plus it burns through your ssd. It dumps all the ram into the ssd when you shutdown and keeps it powered. Then it dumps the cache back into the ram when you "Fast-Bootâ„¢".
>>
>>108692796
I had a meme protector. My PC still got blown to bits. Cheaper and easier just to unplug it if I suspect a storm brewing. I also had lightning come through my window and blow my modem to pieces once. I've lost TVs and Microwaves from this shit before too. I think Zeus hates me.
>>
>>108690317
That's true but the question is how often its worth doing that
>>
>>108693255
>I also had lightning come through my window and blow my modem to pieces once.
>I think Zeus hates me.
It has been known to happen, after all Roy Sullivan exists and that man was obviously cursed. Just be glad whatever force has it out for you is content with striking your property and not your specifically.
>>
>>108690317
if I were your father i'd tell you to shut the fuck up
>>
>>108693255
lightning rod + ground wire with plugs well done + good surge protector
>>
>>108686457
Great thread.
>>
>>108686764
I ran my computer off of the power inverted in my truck when i was homeless living in the camper shell. 14C operating temps. The screen never recovered. It has permanent motion blur.
>>
>>108686457
Do people really not leave their PCs on 24/7?
How the fuck do they access their network shares?
>>
>>108690211
It's because of radiation, either neutrons from the cosmic background or low level alpha decay from nearby objects. Particles hitting a gate in the RAM can cause the bit it stores to flip.
>>
i shut my pc off at the wall daily and you can't stop me
>>
I just have the windows task scheduler set to shut it down at 3 AM and turn it back on at 10 AM

The server stays on 24/7. My personal computer gets turned off nightly
>>
>>108686457
I shut down and unplug my computer not because I'm schizo but because my dad was incredibly wary of electrical fires so I picked up the habit
>>
>>108701339
but you leave the circuit breaker on??? flip the mains off at night bro.
