What Does Your PC Do When You Sleep?

[dw96]

Just tweak your power settings.

No, I just threw a pillow at it and said STOP SNORING YOU SLOW @$$ LOW TECH BAD GPU'D PEICE OF...
Ok, maybe I should stop here. And it stopped. And I think you didn't read that I kept waking up, not the PC.

Unless I snore, I wake up the PC and it snores back... Is that even possible???

Not all of my little jokes go over well.

Your attitude is still positive...

So,

[holo88]

if i sleep more than an hour a day i am lucky. if my PC is off more than an hour a day, it is lucky. i nailed a horse shoe to it, too increase it's chances.

i don't know what my pc does when i sleep, because i'm always asleep at the time...

 

[jfar]

I don't know, he always seems to have an alibi.

A couple of pounds, give or take.


My computer has learned a new trick. It likes to grow spiders. Spiders that like to startle unsuspecting hands as they reach for components....

Sorry, your avatar made me think you aren't a man who likes to joke.
Anyway you were right! Look at what I found in the power settings:

When i'm home for the week, my notebook runs or sleeps 24/7. Once i get back to the mine, it runs/sleeps mostly 24/7. One of my desktops runs 24/7 when home, else it gets turned off.
My other desktop runs 24/7 as it has lots of media and is hooked up to the home theatre stuff.

Wife does pretty much as she pleases with hers. I think she has 4 of them, but only 2 are on 24/7 doing stuff that keeps filling up the hard drives, whilst she sleeps.

We used to do folding, but we got a bit carried away and had 40 comps running in the games room. (another story here). I think the Handbrake got up to number 50 and amassed around 9 million points. Too many drama's and too many $$$$$$.

... One of my desktops runs 24/7 when home, else it gets turned off. ...

I hope it is home often enough. I don't like computers who don't want to stay home.

 

[Kari]

He made need to adjust the power settings.

:roflmao:

Well, you know teenagers, lol.

Nah, it's all good. It's on a running wire and can't get out of the yard.

 

[spinifex]

Wow, had not thought of that. Thanks for pointing that out.

And to think i trusted it to be responsible.

@Antman - the previous one I made sucks. Let's kick it up a notch:

This really took a while to make, but it's 1000 times more realistic looking than the old one.
I had to like zoom to 750% and still couldn't select stuff right...

 

[Tews]

It drrreeeeeaaammmsss....

 

[Tews]

At least its not fja;ilseur s.... I hate it when that happens... that was freshly brewed Luzianne Iced tea!!!

Thats 1

Electric Sheep is probably the most advanced screen saver ever developed. It was written by Scott Draves as part of his MIT Doctoral Thesis. Your computer composes small mpeg files, then uploads them to the sheep server where they are then downloaded as a part of a "flock" and displayed as a continuous mpeg movie. New "flocks" are downloaded and then used as part of the screen saver ...

Homepage --==> HERE
Download it --==> HERE

These are a few static pics from the latest "flock" ... Enjoy!

I tried that when it first was released. Could never get it to work, even with opening all the ports needed

I don't let my computer stay up through the night. It's not part of some biker gang. Though when he's been good. I might let him download for me while I sleep.

Same with me. These days I have no screensaver. What's the use of this $h1T anyway? It only takes up resources off the processor and videocard, and it doesn't make your computer look cooler or anything, does it? Just set the monitor to turn itself off after 5/10 minutes or something. Geez...

 

[jfar]

I didn't even bother to try and download it because, you you could never count on those sheep to work.

 

[Tews]

I can't get it to work, either. The sheep server was down and is being replaced.

I want to check it out because of what it is, not because of what it does.

To kickstart your screensaver, download a sheep pack --==> HERE

Extract files to C:\ProgramData\ElectricSheep\content\mpeg

Try it, you'll like it...

 

[Tews]

Damn! Those files are huge! No wonder there are server issues.

They were getting in excess of 32TB per month in traffic... The individual providing the hosting just couldnt afford it any longer...
