Wasting time on unnecessary services

Post by zakiyatasnim »

Neglecting electrical safety precautions
Your computer uses a lot of electricity and is vulnerable to power surges. The power supply voltage can temporarily increase when you plug in another high-power device or if the power supply in your area is unstable. A special voltage stabilizer will help protect your computer. It is recommended to replace it every three to five years. It will not protect against high-voltage surges (such as lightning), but it will cope with small surges and extend the life of your computer.

If you're willing to spend more money, consider purchasing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This will help keep your computer data safe even if the power goes out.

The laptop power supply requires even more attention because it is easier to damage. After that, it will not only become unreliable, but also can cause a fire. When unplugging the power supply, always pull the plug, not the cord, and do not twist it too tightly.

Press on cables and ports
A broken USB port is not as serious a problem as a faulty charger, but it is also better to avoid it. If the flash drive does not insert, then do not apply force. Also, do not bend the device inside the port - this will sweden number data damage both the flash drive and the port.

If you constantly bend the cable, it can break inside. Keep it as far away from animals as possible that might chew through the plastic, and don't twist the wires too tightly.

ack in the days of Windows XP, when computers were slower and the choice of components was smaller, removing unnecessary files from your computer could significantly speed it up. However, most cleaning programs simply scare the user into buying a paid version.

Moreover, some utilities can even be malicious. They delete necessary registry entries, causing computer malfunctions. And new applications that supposedly protect personal data on Windows 10 can conflict with some programs. As a result, the user does not understand why the computer is not working properly.

If you want to clean up your hard drive, use Windows' built-in Disk Cleanup feature. And if your computer is running slowly, try removing startup programs or restarting it—if that doesn't help, it might be time to upgrade your hardware.

Do not use antivirus
Even trusted sites can be infected with malware. Protect yourself by installing antivirus.

In addition, don't forget to regularly update your software (both Windows and other programs), use a reliable password manager (instead of one password for all sites), and learn to spot phishing links. Don't use pirated programs (they often contain viruses), and protect your home Wi-Fi with a password.
