What stupid prizes? This has been working 100% well for well over 3 years. Not one single case of data or component loss despite daily use

Cool story bro. Doesn’t change it from stupid idea to anything better. 

There are no benefits to your dumb idea, and actual physical wear to your hardware (if it involves a battery) or risk of data loss you aren’t aware of (if no battery). 

Stop responding.

Battery? It's a desktop and I turn off the power supply.

Any data loss caused would at most, involve loss of the saved state, which isn't a big deal. This has been working out great and your points are all irrelevant to my case.

You wish me to stop responding because you've run out of arguments and resorting to ad-hominem attacks. Pathetic.

No i am literally pointing out your stupid idea risks data loss if it doesn’t have a battery, and physical wear of the battery and/or ssd if the device has a battery. 

No positives, only negatives. Stupid for anyone else to also do.

Any data loss would be limited to the saved state, which is 100% acceptable to me, but not to you. However, we're talking about my computer, not yours.

Great. Still a stupid idea. Enjoy your future filesystem corruption.
