Very true, but the less tech-savy crowd does not often use key commands.

- freehunter 13y agoDoes the less tech-savvy crowd often shut down their computers manually? Seems like they'd rather just close their laptop lid and let it do whatever it does.
- sixbrx 13y agoNot sure why you bring up laptops, some of us use Windows to do what it does best, on PC's with good graphics cards.

- freehunter 13y agoIf you're on HN and using a desktop with a good graphics card, are you in the "less tech-savvy" crowd that would not be able to shut down a computer?
- ambiate 13y agoI once used a laptop for a two hour hackathon. The risk, price, performance, and power ratios of owning a desktop versus a laptop never quite added up to me. My wife knows (from some prior experience) that unplugging the computer without shutting down can be dangerous. She also knows that putting the computer to sleep will lock the computer and not let friends/child on the desktop without asking for a password.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoI think it's the tech savvy crowd that doesn't bother to put their computers to sleep...just ctrl-alt-delete lock and go to lunch...like a phone it will (hopefully) goto sleep, and if it doesn't, not my power bill. I guess if I had a desktop PC at home, life would be different, but I haven't had one of those since 2001.
