this guy won't stop saying it's normal to restart his computer 4-5x a day

Being bullied at work for giving a totally reasonable suggestion (restart your damn computers at least once a day!).

I assume he's not working on a project that requires about 15 word documents to be open for reference. That computer is not restarting until this report is drafted.

you're right to bully

I turn mine off overnight when I'm done for the day and turn it on again in the morning. Somehow people don't do that????

it can be beneficial to turn it off at night, although depending on various circumstances, that benefit is small. it won't hurt anything and it saves even a little bit of electricity (if you compare turning off to sleep mode, but leaving the pc completely on all the time is much more power use)

then also like... memory leaks potential, because windows is windows lol. restarting helps clear that.

i turn mine off maybe …. once a month? and that’s usually because a restart update is required

"I keep getting popups telling me my computer is eligible for an iPhone upgrade and a free Bonzi Buddy, but I reboot and those popups are gone for at least 2 hours!"

That bit is insane, but you should turn it off completely (NOT just sleep mode) every night

the amount of tabs I have open in multiple windows would be hazardous to his health

matthewterrill.bsky.social•35 days ago

per day?!?! pourquoi?!
I'm lucky if mine gets restarted once a week. I know I should do it every evening, but good heavens multiple times a day is absolutely deranged behavior!

Does he format and reinstall windows every three months too?
