Windows 7 and 8 shutdown batch file to save electricity
Sunday, November 2nd, 2014Hi Everyone,
If you are like me you work on your computer or use it to play games in the evening to alleviate stress. However, once you are finished using the computer you forget to turn if off. Now, for many this does not seem to be a problem but consider other aspects of leaving a computer running.
- Someone could gain access to a laptop webcam and see that no one is home or spy on people in the room.
- If you accidentally get a virus the PC which can turn it into a zombie or join it to a botnet. So while you are away your PC is working in the background.
- Some people just never turn the PC or laptop off because he or she feels the power saving options are sufficient.
- The amount that all the electronic devices are costing you per month in your electric bill.
Let’s examine the fourth possibility because it happened to me. My average electric bill when my kids were at home was $125 per month. When they left for college the electric bill dropped to $95 per month. When I deployed the shutdown script on my PC the electric bill dropped to $69 per month. Saving over $50 a month (you could save more) on your electric bill seems like a pretty good idea to me.
