My server and main computer run non-stop. This is so they get regular updates, and because it's easier on my electric bill. When an electrical device starts up it takes more power to get it started than it does to keep it running, much like how it takes more pushing to get a stalled car moving than it does to keep it moving. It's the threshold between potential energy and kinetic energy at play here and the inertial effects involved. AS I said, your mileage may vary, and it depends on how often you access your computer throughout the day. If you're one of those people who only uses it for a single session throughout the day then it might serve you to turn it on, do what you're going to do, and then leave it on for a time afterward, setting your update cycle to hit then for your OS, office suite, and virus and malware updates. If you use it throughout the day then it's probably more energy conservative to leave it on. Note also that unless your computer is unplugged from the wall it's going to continue to draw power. (In this case "unplugged from the wall can also mean that it's plugged into a surge protector and the power switch for the surge protector is turned off) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Drew > Hunthausen via Jfw > Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 11:01 AM > To: Jaws list > Subject: turn off or not > > Dear list, > > Wondering what all of your knowledge and opinions are in terms of > weather to turn off your computers every night or just leave them on > all the time.
