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 have different computers for different purposes. One runs 24/7 because it runs various servers. A couple are for gaming and are put to sleep when not in use. My laptop is shut down because I have no reason not to. I’ve also got a ras pie that runs 27/7.

      Dude’s getting 3hrs more than anybody on the planet but is yet to take over the world. My 9th grade was wrong when she said even the richest man in the world gets the same 24hrs as everybody else. Stop lying, Ms. Dorene.
