Tips how to maximize the lifespan of your laptop

Replacing an old laptop with a new one is not easy nor cheap, so one should put all efforts to maximize the life of your current one as much as possible. Several factors need to be considered to ensure the longevity of your PC or laptop. From choice of brand to choice of configuration, and from customer service to user habits, all have a role to play. Here are some essential tips on how to extend the lifespan of your laptop.

Clean & Maintain your Computer Regularly

Computers comprise many small parts that are designed to withstand a lot of wear and tear. However, with frequent use, the metal parts heat up and expand before cooling down and contracting again. This can cause parts to fail over time. To increase the lifespan of your computer, it’s important to maintain a cool system. Dust and debris can block fans and ports, preventing proper airflow that traps heat and prevents components from connecting firmly. Keeping your system clean and free of obstructions is an essential step in preserving your computer.

Cleaning a laptop can be more complicated than just using compressed air. Blowing air in the vents and keyboard may help reduce dust and debris, but it won’t be enough to remove all of it. To properly clean a laptop, it is best to take it apart and clean each component individually. For that, relying on authorized service personnel once or twice a year is a good idea for extending the lifespan of the device.

Perform Regular Updates and Maintenance on Software

Make sure your Windows system is running at peak performance by running Windows Updates weekly. Most computers are set to install Updates automatically, but you should still check that the installation was successful. The same goes for antivirus software, which should also be updated regularly with new virus/malware definitions. Additionally, running Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter periodically can help with performance, as the former removes selected unnecessary files and the latter consolidates fragmented files.

Unplug the Charger Frequently

To maximize the longevity of your laptop battery, Battery University recommends charging it to 80%, and then letting it drain down to 40%. This approach can extend the life of your battery by up to four times since each cell in a lithium-polymer battery is charged to a specific voltage level. High charge levels result in increased stress, reducing the number of discharge cycles to 300-500 for a battery charged to 100%, compared to 1,200-2,000 for a battery charged to 70%. Heat also plays a role in battery degradation, so if your laptop has a battery-saving feature, use it – or disconnect the charger from your laptop when it’s at full power.

their name is mirren! they're a.... detective maybe?? i mean they say they're a detective but there's no way that's true. they'd probably take at least three hours to realize there's something off about gingi. also they would likely be found in the cinema, after you've wandered around a bunch and some time has passed. there'd be an option to talk to the weirdo standing awkwardly by the popcorn butter station, and they would immediately say something so strange and stupid that the narrator needs a minute to process it

uhhhhhh i doubt many ppl will wanna but if u wanna ask questions (about or to them) feel free to, just make sure to specify that it's for them in the ask. i might do a quick doodle :)

“You’ve made it far,” a grating voice rings from across the dim garage. “I must give you credit for getting here at all.”

The hero whips back to meet the villain, the other all confident smirks and easy nonchalance. Nothing the hero hasn’t seen before.

“If you think I wasn’t going to get here,” the hero says smoothly, “you underestimated me.”

It’s all a song and dance. Her hands are itching for a fight.

The villain is out of range, lurking with that knowing grin on the edges of the hero’s circle. “Show me why you’re here, then.”

The hero needs no telling. She steps into a swing that the villain predictably dodges back from. The villain reciprocates with a jab, the hero slipping under her arm and past her. The villain whirls before the hero can think of her next move—she grabs the hero by the collar and wrenches her into a grip that promises death. Her arm wraps around the hero’s neck, carefully holding her up.

It's a familiar hold, one the hero's had used on her in countless practises. Why does the villain know how to do it?

“I must say, [Hero], it hurts to know you think so low of me,” she whispers mockingly. “Though it surprises me that the person who did underestimate you ever underestimated you at all.”

That’s too many words and not enough oxygen in the hero’s brain to comprehend the meaning of them. “What—”

“Shh.” The villain’s fingers card, once, through the hero’s hair. “Look.”

The hero looks. She can’t not. A new figure enters the garage, familiarly broad and tall and walking with that stupid gait that looks half like a limp. If the hero couldn’t make out words before, she definitely thinks she’s hallucinating now.

The superhero doesn’t say anything. “Considering he knows so much about you, he clearly expected you to be stupider,” the villain says.

“She was last time I checked,” the superhero says plainly.

The villain barks a laugh. “I hate to intervene on your little detective mission, [Hero],” she says with fake pity, “but you’ve been getting a little too close to some industry secrets we’d prefer you don’t know.”

“We?” The hero can’t be bothered with the villain. Her attention is on her superior in front of her, the one who always led the way, the one who’s morals know no limits, the one that was— “You’re not part of ‘we’, are you?”

The superhero shrugs, as if this kind of question isn’t worthy of anything more. “I’ve been part of ‘we’ for a long time, [Hero]. If you’d gotten your nose out of mine and [Villain]’s business you probably would’ve noticed.”

Oh, the irony. The hero doesn’t know whether she wants to beg for him to reconsider or tear him to shreds for the audacity. “Why— Why would you join her?”

The villain huffs. “Ouch.”

The superhero shrugs again, indifferent. Where’s his righteousness, his morality, his goddamn emotions? “The agency is chasing a dream built on nothing but the abstract idea of perfectionism. She—and the rest of villainy—is built on reason. Logic.”

Indignation flares. “You’ve abandoned everything for this? Why the hell would you—”

“Alright, this isn’t an interview,” the villain cuts in sharply. She hauls the hero upright without a thought for her windpipe. “You know enough already.”

The villain kicks the hero into motion across the garage. The superhero trails behind.

The hero tries and fails to swallow the lump in her throat. “Where’re—“

“Oh, you know the drill,” the villain interrupts. “You know too much, we put you down.”

The hero tries to break the villain’s hold on her, but she’s goddamn strong. “You can’t do—”

“Oh yes we can.” The villain smirks again. The hero can hear it in her voice. “But don’t worry, we’ll tell you everything first. It’s better if you die with the secrets, y’know?”

thursday, august 10 day 4: last minute confession (@benthan-week-forever)

Benji sat in front of his laptop, tears streaming down his face.

He had just heard Ethan confess his love for him over the coms - and then the line went dead. Dead. Like Ethan, he thought.

The blonde was beside himself with grief.

He tried and tried and tried to get a hold of the other one, but there was no response. Benji was consumed with worry and fear, not knowing what had happened to the man he loved.

As he sat there, lost in his thoughts, memories of Ethan flooded his mind. He remembered the way the brunette looked at him, the sound of his voice, the touch of his hand. He realized how much he loved Ethan, and how much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.

Benji sat there for what felt like hours, waiting for any news about his partner..

Finally, the coms line crackled to life, and Ethan's voice came through.

"Benji, are you there?" he said, his voice rough.

Benji was overjoyed to hear his voice, bursting into tears once again.

"Ethan, I thought you were dead," he said, his voice choked with emotion.

"I'm okay, Benji," Ethan replied, "I made it out alive, thanks to you."
