  • Microsoft: "My PC"

    Jump

  • Firstly, I normally have way more than two apps open. And secondly, in case of a few apps, I personally still value the couple minutes of my time more than I do 2% of my battery. But to each their own.

  • I used to have a watercooled PC, I don't remember it making any sounds while in sleep. Why would the pump run when PC is asleep?

  • I was mostly talking about stationary computers, but even in case of a laptop (unless it runs Windows which has terrible sleep management) the benefits of starting your work immediately once you open the lid outweighs the cons of losing a couple percent of battery overnight.

  • But you can't bring the same argument back to me. Cold booting requires more time and effort. Thus to make that argument, one needs to provide the benefits that compensate for the downsides. Some people provided possible benefits that matter to their specific case, like, PSU makes noise (actually, that was you in a different thread), or they want to save laptop battery, etc. But if we are taking about a modern stationary computer with mains power, there's practically no benefit to shutting it down, only downsides.

    Of course it's completely valid for somebody to do it out of habit, but they can't expect to use that as a valid argument for others to do it.

  • But a sleeping computer is just as quiet as a shut down computer... Which is totally silent. I don't get it.

  • Even if it's only one app, what is the purpose? To save on electricity that powers RAM?

  • Even if the boot time is fast, you lose a lot of the program states. Not only it takes extra time to load those applications, it's also a fair amount of effort to put everything back where it should be.

    If it was necessary to shut computers down, no problem, it's not too much time and effort. But there's normally no need to shut computers down, it's just wasted time with no benefits (usually).

  • Took a break from Trek to watch Dark Matter and realized...I was still watching Trek.

  • I have only seen a couple episodes of Lower Decks, but outright saying something like this seems very out of character for her.

  • Technically, sideloading is possible already, but you need a developer account, you're limited to 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to renew them every week.

    So the more difficult way already exists.

  • Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70%

  • Doesn't make my comment not true.

    And I don't filter or block anything or anyone. Rawdogging Lemmy, the way God intended.

  • Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you've shown "Tesla sales down in Europe" news in Top.

  • thank you for your service.

  • I don't think anybody in Seychelles ever seeds on purpose. Being a remote island (archipelago), the internet prices are insane. Almost nobody has uncapped internet, mostly only business.

  • I haven't noticed this happening with other instances, but it is getting better, now the delay is just 2 days.

    I'm happy to hear that you've been assimilated, too. I'm a bit ahead of you as I've also finished DS9. Just started TOS, but that one is a little rough... 😅

  • Idk why, but I only got a notification about this today, even though the comment is 5d old.Anyway, you're right, I meant "closed" in a sense of "they eat each other's poo". It's also possible the difference in calories is made up some extra stuff, with like photosynthesis or whatever.
