I turn off my computer every night. Why would I leave it on?

[newgoo]

I didn't turn my computer off for over like 3 months but it still works fine

[ellectrified]

The last time I left my charged laptop on for hours as I overslept, I had to change the battery because it was overloaded.

 

Nah, I'm not going to do that again ever. I always shut it down whenever I'm not using it.

So that's why my wifi has been shitty for the past few days

the only time my computer actually turns off, not just sleep mode, is when it forces me to restart for updates or something

i usually only restart my comp when my anti-virus prompts me to restart after an update... but that's weekly...

you can also just use task manager to close programs that are using too much RAM.

 

tbh i prob. like restart my computer maybe once every two weeks.

[skit.]

my internet won't connect unless I restart my pc as soon as I turn

it on, I've been doing it right all along unintentionally lol.

hmm interesting. i shut down my computer once a day but maybe i've been using hibernate/sleep mode too often...i think i'll restart now actually >.<

I always turn my pc of at night, my tablet and phone I can leave on for months though or until they freeze/get super slow at which point I restart them.

My recommendations is to restart it every 3 months if your not continually shutting it off when you charge. Also one other thing is to deplete your battery and fully charge it to extend your battery life (laptops as well)

The battery thing is not true for all devices. Some batteries will be damaged if they are fully consumed.

For MacBooks, you do want to have your battery discharge to at least 20% about once a month. I believe it would be the same for all lithium-ion batteries.
