"Just something to keep the cat from going online." That's why I no longer have a cat. They have a way of racking up charges on gaming sites. I actually have a BIOS password, so someone can't start the computer when I'm not here. But it's not really critical. I don't bank or shop online. There are no credit card or account numbers to find. But I guess that's one way I do things differently from most people. I not only don't bank online but I also don't leave my computer on when I'm out. It seems like most people rarely if ever turn off their computer. That seems crazy to me. I shut it off every night. The 30 second boot doesn't bother me. It's a good idea to turn off Windows 10, because it has a bad habit of waking up whenever it feels like it, and doing God knows what. If I ever get stuck with Windows 10, I will shut it down, and then hit the Master switch on the power strip. It can't wake up if there's no juice. -- pyotr filipivich Next month's Panel: Graft - Boon or blessing? |

[snip] Putting the computer in the sleep mode is not the same as turning off the computer.Â* To my knowledge there is no software that can activate the hard ware switch. Most desktops have a real power switch. IIRC, no laptops do. -- 21 days until the winter celebration (Wed, Dec 25, 2019 12:00:00 AM for 1 day).
