HTML tags make tech expensive, and there are countless ways to damage your devices. However, fear not, as I have curated a list of tech freebies that you can seize right away. Now, unfortunately, here’s some bad news: your smartphone is not a fan of high temperatures. Smartphones operate optimally within the temperature range of 35 to 95 degrees. Anything colder or hotter than that puts your device at risk of hardware damage and shortened battery life.
So, what should you do when faced with sweltering heat? The key is to avoid leaving your phone exposed to direct sunlight. Take precautions to protect your phone with these steps:
1. Stick to the shade: Whether you’re outdoors or in the car, aim to keep your phone in the shade.
2. Avoid placing it on the sunny passenger’s seat: Exposing your phone to direct sunlight while driving can lead to overheating.
3. Remove your phone case: Phone cases tend to trap heat, depending on the material they are made of. It’s advisable to temporarily remove your case, but be cautious not to drop your phone and risk cracking the screen. Consider using a screen protector for added protection.
In addition to smartphones, laptops and desktops are also susceptible to overheating, especially during hot weather. Follow these steps to prevent damage to your computer:
1. Tackle the dust: Gather a small screwdriver set, a can of compressed air or an electric duster, and some cotton swabs. Shut down your computer, unplug it, and open the case. Use the compressed air or duster to clean the fan, vents, and ducts. Gently wipe away any accumulated dust using cotton swabs. Ensure that no cotton strands are left behind. Finally, reassemble the case and plug everything back in.
2. Enhance airflow for your laptop: Overheating can occur if your laptop doesn’t have sufficient air circulation. Make sure to place it on a hard surface like a desk, rather than a bed or blanket, which can obstruct ventilation. Alternatively, use a book, tray, or cooling pad to support your laptop and maintain airflow.
3. Close unnecessary processes: Too many open tabs and applications can generate excess heat in your computer. Close down any unnecessary programs, and consider restarting your computer to terminate background processes.
Finally, it is crucial to acknowledge that power outages during a heatwave can have severe consequences. I have previously shared precautions to help keep you safe during such incidents.
