clean your computers

protip:

your computer has intake fans which draw in air at the front of the computer. the air passes through the computer case and helps cool the magic inside. the air that gets sucked in not only contains air, it also contains dust. so the inside of your computer builds up a lot of dust over time which can clog fans, trap heat, and reduce your computer's ability to move heat out of the computer. it can also potentially be fire hazard as dust has been known to spontaneously combust.

so once a year, grab a can of compressed air, take your unplugged pc outside, open it up and spray the shit out of it.
