Security of sleep mode
At times while downloading a new insider program I find that I have to leave my desktop on overnight. This has prompted me to ask this question.

Does a make any difference or not at all?

How can I stay safe while connected to Wi-Fi?

Do you build your own PC?
Who else still builds computers from pieces? Do you install other operating systems on other machines? What do you use your other machines for? I want to build an old PC and repurpose it as a security hub for cameras. I also have a raspberry pi 3B to tinker with. What do you tinker with?
