Hi All

 

Bought an Electronic duster for Christmas,  XPOWER A-2 Airrow Pro Multi-Use Electric Computer Duster Dryer Air Pump Blower,  I know to hold the fan blades still with a pencil or small screwdriver,  and make sure PC unplugged,  is there anything else I should be concerned on with this?   

 

I assume this will get System completely clean just like it was from factory, been that my Compressed air cans can reach and probably get video card fan better

Oh excellent then, just wanted to make sure on that aspect there.    Thank you all so much

 

If the device is electric and more powerful than compressed air cans, then that sounds powerful.

 

You might want to be careful with grounding and also magnetic fields.

Yeah I held it back further than I did the former compressed air cans, and used a pencil to keep the fan blades steady.    Desktop ran perfectly fine afterwards,  extremely careful when I use the machine though,  one more Desktop to use it on soon,  again with the same precautions as first Desktop and think all should be fine hopefully

I’ve got one of those XPOWER blowers. Not only is it great for cleaning out the case and fans, it’s also good for any other dusting jobs around the house and is powerful enough to blow leaves out of the garage.

I know it sounds funny, but in effect is no different than a can of compressed air except there is no resude. 

 

It really does clean a pc well. It's especially good for fans and areas that you can't get to like inside the psu and around switches and wires. 

 

These devices are also much smaller than a leaf blower they are hand held and designed for electronic use

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
