Thanks for reminding me that I exceptionally turned off my office PC today, leaving inaccessible the latest version of a paper I need to submit this weekend To

  If your main use is sharing files, any cloud drive would take care of that. Besides the money, it's wise not to waste resources needlessly.

    Clearly, there are better ways to share files than scp from work desktop. I should have said that having forgotten to push changes to a remote repo, turning the desktop off partially caused quite a bit of extra work in an already very busy weekend. I value that wasted time and energy more than the electrity that would have been wasted had I left the desktop on. Saying that it's wise to turn the PC off has no effect on the large swathes of corporate developers who only see an off PC as potential waste of time.
