The reason for screen savers is to have Windows autolock with its
password protection. :/


And it DOESN'T save power, but increases power use by creating moving
pictures you don't see that much, preventing the computer from slowing
itself down to save power.

I run BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/), allowing the PC to be doing
something useful (turning OFF the screen saver, since that wastes CPU
power) and turning the monitor off.
