You can check by running inxi in the command line or checking the CPU in Mission Center

  • Y'all it takes like 15 seconds to boot from an SSD why are you leaving your computers on?

    • because I can KVM from one computer to another in under 1 second and I dont feel like adding 14 to that. Plus Folding@Home.

      • Eh, like that's fair its personal preference but the energy waste of just having your PC idle is just weird to me. (Folding@home is totally reasonable)

      • Those proteins and RNAs are now the domain of deep learning, thankyouverymuch! Pull the plug!

    • With several comments now showing surprise about this, is sleep mode or hibernation not common knowledge?? Windows and every Linux distro I've tried has sleep mode enabled by default.

      • I wouldn't, and I don't think most people would, consider being in hibernation mode or sleep mode as "on". Sure, it will add to your uptime, but like its a demonstrably different power state.

    • Because they're processing data all the time? They're doing work?
