    That’s more taxing on the hardware over time

    Edit: downvote all you want but frequent power cycling DOES reduce the life span of capacitors over time more than just leaving it in a low power or hibernation state, and also generates rapid thermal changes in components that puts more stress on them.

      Uuuh, I’m pretty sure 13s of CPU time is not that taxing on the hardware.

        It’s not about CPU time, it’s about power cycles.

        Turning computers off isn’t good for them. Turning them on isn’t good for anyone, including the computer (but especially the user who has to suffer it, and most especially the IT tech who has to suffer both).
