I don't care for faster boot times, I rarely turn my computer off. |
Who still turns off his PC? |
I do because I don't waste electricity like a faget |
oh no, an extra dollar to pay on the electricity bill! |
My computer pulls at any point in time 400W+ from the wall. When turned off my house's electricity bill is $20 cheaper a month. |
Now multiply that by a year or even five n dat petty dorrar is a hefty grand

Multiply that by the 5 other computers in my house running 24/7 and it's a significant amount a year. |

| its better for your components to be left on then to be turned on and off multiple times, enjoy your broken hardware and $20 a month savings. |

I'll enjoy my disposable income that allows me to fix any parts that go bad the day they go bad. |

No, because my parts don't fail after $20. They fail after I've already saved $1k+. So yeah, I'd rather save $1k or more and spend $100 of it. |

That's assuming the worst possible situation (which is very unlikely).
I've had my laptop for like 3 or 4 years now and I shut it down every night and none of my components have ever had problems. So you think if you turn off your computer every day all your shit starts to fail or what lol. |

Wow, I turn off my pc (or at least put it in standby) and all the lights and TV every time I leave the room for more than 5 minutes. Not because I'm trying to save money but because I care about the environment. I know it hardly changes anything, but still, I feel bad when wasting stuff.
I worked at a hotel a while ago, and like half of the (empty) rooms I entered still had the lights and the TV on, because some people are just too lazy to push a fucking button before leaving. This pissed me off so much.
Anyways,
I'm running Windows 8 too, and besides the rocky start-off, I'm liking it. Just needs some getting used to. Only thing I don't like is that you can't quickly search in the start menu like you could in Windows 7. |

Not using electricity to save the environment is like not eating beef to save cows.
The electricity's already been generated from fossil fuels, and the cow's already been slaughtered and prepared.
Just fucking eat it.
If you want to save the environment, go strap a bomb to yourself and run into the power plant. |

Laptop hardware is different, its better to shut your laptop down, the parts get hotter and that reduces the life span more then shutting it down does. |

Unless your laptop has a good cooling system.
