I have given up being annoyed that in recent years no one seems to understand the difference between less and fewer.
I now suffer less incidents of being bothered. 🤓
I'm back from climbing down a rabbit hole on birdsite, learning how Trumpists view the world.

Let me run something through you guys. Concerning #computer #hardware maintenance, one should at minimum:
* dust their computers once a year
* replace the thermal paste every 10 years
What about:
* memory checking
* smart data
* CMOS batt. inspection
* capacitor inspection
No one on Reddit or any decent site seems to bother mentioning these things and yet in my opinion they seem like they'd play an important part in a routine maintenance schedule.
What else is missing?
Boosts appreciated.
