Hello everyone. My father and I are currently at arms with this debate. He was complaining to me about how much electricity my computer pulls, saying that it is costing way too much to leave it on as much as I do. I say that's fine and I am thinking about paying him for the cost, if need be, assuming what I think is true. Now, may you all know that I am relatively new to knowing useful things about computers. What I do know, I have heard from people, or my brother has taught me. So please add what you know about this so that I may learn more for future benefit and reference.
Now, the debate is over whether it is better for your PC to leave it on constantly and reboot or shut down every once in a while so it can boot up and be refreshed; or if it is better to shut down every time it is not in use so that it boots up and is refreshed more often and to save money on electricity.
Please reply if you know anything about this so that I may show my father the results so as to apoligize if I am wrong, as is usual, or if I am for once correct.
Thank you for your replies,
