Average time your computer is on each day

[Oldaccount1234123]

For me, its 12 hours on the weekend, and about 5 hours during the week

[You_are_a_cunt]

at least 16h/day, assuming I'm at work. 24h during the weekends

[Opeth747]

About 16h/day usually. I am known to fall asleep watching a movie or something and leave it on all night, though.

[Deletive]

Usually 24/7 unless I need to do updates. 

[the pokemon kid]

I work from home so I am constantly on my computer. I get up at about 8:30 ish and on the computer from 9am and then I work til 5ish pm and then game on it until about 11pm...

Sleep and food are the only times I am away from the computer really haha

[StareX]

12+ every day.

[Picky Peep]

8 hours of sleep, 1 hour of combined washroom time, 7 hours of school, what does that leave me with?

[TheGeeker]

17 hours a day. Everyday. Ever

[Oldaccount1234123]

I'm starting to think I should have made more options on the poll for the longer hours

[ShadowCaptain]

3-5 hours seems about right - get home at 6PM, - Bed at 11PM - in that 5 hours slot I eat dinner 30-60 mins, and a few times a week watch a movie - 2 hours etc

 

my work pc is on for 9 hours obvs but that doesn't count

Let's be honest, it's 24/7.

Mobiles can be thought of as computers.

We use them to call and use them as our alarms.

That take cares of the sleeping time as well.

24/7 365. I used to put it to sleep when I wasn't using it, but doing that causes harddrives to disappear in windows file explorer so I stopped.. As for why I don't shut it down.. It just takes to long to get started up. I'm good on the boot times, I just like to have my programs launched and ready when I wake up. I would be fine with the wait if I had an SSD, but I dont, so for hard drives I leave it running.

every moment I am awake, For the most part I am at my computer.

Besides the little break I take to go get some food, or occasionally head over to my friends

I was about to say, you should really invest in an SSD. Mine is booted up and programs open in around 10 seconds.

[Blebekblebek]

usually 24/7

 

most of time I spend 15h+ in front of screen.

I would but my motherboard is SATA2 not sata3 bc i made a mistake on my build it's also maxed out CPU wise so I have to get a cpu+ssd+motherboard to truly get an SSD experience. (I need to up the CPU at some point as I can barely handle GTAV with an R9 270x)

My computer is a file server for people in the house and is quite often downloading things overnight.

It's quiet enough to leave running and having a low volume TV series going helps me sleep.

[Deltek]

24/7 folding with TitanX fan @ 100%

 

My last PC (only recently built this new one) was on 24/7 too (i7-980x) for years (though it didn't fold), without any issues. ..Well aside from ramping up my power bill.

On weekdays: about as long as I am home, that is around 7 hours, when taking out sleep and time spent in school.

 

On weekends and holidays: as long as I am awake, that is around 15 - 21 hours? I usually wake-up at around 12 PM or later, and go to sleep (and put computer to sleep mode too, not shutting down unless absolutely necessary) at 1 - 4 AM.

 

Though if I leave home for longer than for example half an hour, I'll put it to sleep mode. Less than that, and I'll most likely just keep it running.

[RockmanZero]

My own main pc is almost 24/7 on (sometimes it goes down for updates).

Got a raspberry pi running a small website that is on 24/7.

My macbook is mostly on when not at home, work computer is also on 24/7 with a script to auto clean it and install updates.

Don't really want to know what the combined electrical bill is of this all but it is a lot.

[stitchlips]

Pretty much 24/7. I usually leave it running overnight downloading files or working on long encoding queues. Even when it's just idling I tend to leave it on when I go to bed because I've grown accustomed to the "white noise".

[flibberdipper]

Right now about 14+, but when school starts it will be in the neighborhood of 5.

[ObeseWalrus]

I am taking an IT education so I guess that I am on the computer almost all the time.

[DimasRMDO]

I've got an iMac and built PC.

My iMac almost run 24/7.

My built PC, well 12+ everyday.....

[Me1z]

24/7, unless the power goes out. If I'm awake I'm on it, and I need the white noise from the fans to get to sleep at night. Pure silence makes my ears ring and it drives me insane.
