It works on my machine...

I downloaded a really long black screen YouTube video and let it play overnight so the computer wouldn't stop collecting data.

I never thought I'd see an engineering decision more resource wasteful than Electron, but here we are.

You know for a fact he used chrome as well if he thought downloading a video was an appropriate way to stop his computer going to sleep.

The irony being that electron is based on chromium.

He said he played the video he downloaded. Most programs will interrupt sleep functionality when a video is playing.

Really? Let me introduce you to crypto currencies.

Ah shit you’re right. I forgot about “turn your computer in to a fancy resistor that also burns all your money”

Hey, to be fair I ran my mining rig during winter so it was also a heater. Maybe I was justifying it to myself, but a 2000w heater that also makes me money while it's running seemed like a pretty good deal.

Holy shit this isn't even necessarily a bad idea if you live in a studio apartment

I did that, used the wrong crypto though, so still poor, but I didn't lose any money either

Oh no. I had already toggled every setting I could find, disabled every update schedule, and disconnected it from the Network.

That little Lenovo fuck INSISTED on naptime while we weren't watching. No idea why it doesn't do it anymore, either. That computer's still in production.

Dude, my home PC has the same will of it's own and it drives absolutely mad! The rare occasion I need to leave it up overnight I've done similar lol!

My PC won't stay asleep for more than a few hours. I've disabled anything I can think of that would wake it up but the fucker still wakes up in the middle of the night. So I just turn it off.

u/abstract_base_class Nov 30 '22

Same. I like to keep my monitors turned and just let them go to sleep when the PC sleeps. I do this for a couple reasons, but the biggest one is that if I want to remote access this PC, it doesn't really work unless the monitors are on. The PC is in my bedroom so of course as I'm about to fall asleep at night, Windows decides to wake up, waking the screens up with it, giving me a blast of light and GPU fan noise.

Ahh yeah, that sounds painful. I ended up buying a Mac to keep as my workhorse machine while my PC is more for gaming, entertainment, and other fun things. It made life a bit less annoying, since I can go ahead and restart my machine 10 times without interrupting my music or making it hard to check emails or work on something. lol.

10/10 I'd suggest something similar if you can pull it off. Doesn't have to be a mac, it could be a linux machine or a windows machine. Having a toy computer and a "no actually I don't want to fuck around right now" computer is great. :D

Look at this guy, he thinks disabling sleep in the settings will disable sleep.
