Do you do a lot of work with the computer on a daily basis - work, gambling, entertainment, movies, etc.? Do you treat him with all respect? Believe it or not, we have discovered quite a few bad habits that harm your "life partner". Read 6 habits that harm your computer!
6 habits that harm your computer
1. You eat while you work
This is one of man's most obvious habits. "Nicking" almonds, pretzels and other snacks smears the keyboard with crumbs. Nothing good! And even worse: drinking sugary drinks that you might spill on your keyboard. Stop!
2. Forget to update your software?
Do you like to ignore pop-ups asking you to update your computer's software? Do not be careless and update programs on the fly.
3. Battery charging 24/7?
Unplug the battery charger this moment. Research has shown that for longer battery life, it is good to fully charge the laptop and then use it until it is fully charged. In this way, we will maintain a longer life of the computer and also of the battery charger.

4. Leaving the computer on the bed...
Ever notice those little rubber bands on the bottom of your laptop? You know, these aren't just for balance. On a flat surface, these raise the PC enough to allow air to flow underneath. Are you familiar with evening "filming" in bed? Put the computer on a blanket and the air cannot cool the device. In this way, you damage the device and shorten its life. You can also cause a fire by doing this.
5. You completely forgot about the reboot feature…
Do you have a habit of simply closing your laptop after use? So, switch to “sleep”. Do you realize that this is not quite the same as stopping this universally useful thing? Make sure to completely shut down your computing device at least once a week.
6. Forget to back up your data?
This is not about copying every single file you create. If you're working on an important project, it's recommended to back up daily, either to Dropbox or an external drive.
