Using Multiplugs

I have a multiplug with "slave" and "master sockets". The slave sockets turn off if the appliance plugged into the master stops drawing power. I can turn off my PC remotely (I have a smart plug plugged into it) and it turns off my monitors and my desk lamp etc. It's on a timetable and switches on and off automatically as I leave or come back home.

This kind of set up gives lots of options.

smart plugs are an option.
i use one of these to manage a light as part of an alarm clock along with a socket timer.
Benifit of a remote to turn everything off, or individual plugs, then have the light turn on at set times if the main socket has power.

but honestly i leave everything on usually and dont really turn anything off for any periods of time.

So what's the question? Can you leave them on? A few appliances (which sound like they will be switched off) isn't going to be a problem over the weekend. I mean, it's not a problem if you are looking at it, is it?
 
(genZ don't know how to wire a plug so a multiplug would be alien to them - delulu)

Desktop unless in standby is going to be burning electricity several units a day - hasn't everyone checked out the power consumption of their gadgets when they had their first smart meter ?
so I'd unplug a desktop for starters, unless I'd burned money on a solar setup.
 
thank you to everybody for the replies. I'm going to leave everything as it is.
