The increasingly frequent use of the computer makes its operation surrounded by myths and some truths. The number of icons on the desktop, repeated use of the reset button or constant activation of the hibernate function are part of the list of recurring doubts of PC users.
TRUTH – The reset button should be used when only when the computer gives an error or problem such as the blue screen and the complete freeze of the system. Using the feature when the PC is working normally can cause memory failure, in addition to corrupting the hard drive and resulting in data loss. It is advisable that the machine is always switched off using the operating system command.
Does having a lot of icons on the desktop slow down the PC?
TRUTH – The video card is the equipment responsible for updating the information on the PC screen. It turns out that the more items take up space in the work area, the longer the equipment will take to show new information on the screen.
In addition to slowness, depending on the number of icons, crashes can occur. Many items on the desktop also show the likelihood of having more programs installed on the PC. This can also cause slowness. Therefore, always stay with the programs you install on the PC and, preferably, choose the option to not install icons on the desktop during the process.
MYTH – There are no restrictions or even recommendations on leaving the stabilizer always on. What you should take into account when keeping the appliance running without interruption is that the energy consumption of your home will increase. As a result, the value of the electricity bill will also be higher. Another factor to consider is that the stabilizer dissipates heat during operation. Therefore, the temperature of the room where the device is installed tends to increase.
The use of the SD-WAN system is, therefore, an upgrade from outdated computer network frameworks of the past as they are detached from traffic management and hardware-based monitoring functions.
