    IDK...
    Your avatar is so creepy

    So the general consensus is to shut down laptops but it's okay to leave desktops on? How come there's a difference?

    I hardly ever power down my PC is always on and connected to the HDMI port on my Xbox one. So if I say ,"Xbox go to TV" it goes to my desktop. That way I can be programming but still in party chat on the Xbox one :p.

    I turn my laptop off every night now, but I used to keep my desktop running all night.

    I never turn off my laptop. I always have a thousand notepads open with different info and about a million different tabs. I toss it into sleep when I go to sleep, then we wake up together and see if anything exciting happened overnight.
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left

    I shut down my computer every night. Although my computer is pretty new so it doesn't take long to boot up.

    That's gonna kill your laptop, Andrew. I hibernated my old old laptop for a year and a half until its internal battery thing died.
    now it needs to be plugged in to work at all

    Not really. Only when I have to. Current uptime is 11 days 14 hours.
    But I run linux, and it doesn't need to be rebooted like Windows does.
