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).

Is that officer Chen?

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

Thanks, good to know.

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.

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