MODERATORS
Who actually turns off their computer?
Everyone should. It's wasted energy, bad for components and outright lazy in some cases.
Hibernate?
At that point you might as well turn it off.
Hibernate keeps all your applications open.
I'm gonna go ahead and guess their comment was made as a joke
Or they put their computers to sleep instead of a full shutdown.
No, power on/off is much worse for components than running due to the transients involved.
Windows users
Windows is my daily driver and all my PCs run 24/7/52 unless they're sleeping while I commute with them 🤷♂️
(I also run Linux, BSD, and macOS.)
