Twebty four some days. None at all others. But on average, my main work system runs 24/7 and I'll be at the console on and off over a 12 to 16 hour period. I write IT tech professionally, research and interact with my workplaces online, and spend time at the PC actually writing the stuff I get paid for. Working hours are flexible for people such as me, and everyday life is fitted into it when necessary
I've just taken a break, for example, to chat socially with you, and I'm about to head off to pick up a washing machine that's been in for repairs. But the system stays running, and I'll return to a new set of alerts that have popped up for me to deal with
Same here.
Up to 10 hours a day at the office and another 4-6 hours at home during weekdays.
Weekends, anything from nothing to nearly 24 hours a day depending on what I'm doing.
OTOH during vacation time I often choose locations where there are no computers (and often no phones, televisions, radios and newspapers) at all.
Agreed. I relish 'back to nature' vacations, and also the several weeks each year I spend up at my lakeside hut, with only a laptop and no internet connectivity, writing when I'm not fishing
I'm on mine all day long. I take a few breaks here and there, maybe take a bike ride, play a little, and stuff like that. My computer stays on 24-7 because I'm either on it, or on a short break away from it.
My servers are on 24 x 7, and I tend to be on them anywhere from 2 - 4 hours after work. Sometimes I run with the laptop, and watch TV or a movie while surfing or whatnot.
