I used to shutdown regularly, then the power situation here in South Africa got so bad that we'd regularly have about 3 hours of power between interruptions. Restoring all my work every couple of hours was becoming a pain, so I decided to re-enable hibernation support on Windows for the first time in 10 years... And surprisingly it works absolutely flawlessly. Even on my 12yr old hardware, even if I'm running a few virtual machines. I honestly haven't seen any reason to reboot other than updates.

This thread is like reading that someone is shocked that other people don't burn their beds every morning after they wake up.

> I used to shutdown regularly, then the power situation here in South Africa got so bad that we'd regularly have about 3 hours of power between interruptions. I'm in SA too, and I used to have 100s of days uptime (one even over a year and a half) ... until the regular blackouts. Had to stop using a desktop, I've resigned myself to using a laptop, purely so that I don't have to boot the thing all the time and lose my context.
