Posted on June 21, 2023

Have you ever found a gift card that you had forgotten about lying around the house and wondered if it had a spendable balance on it?

I’ve written several posts explaining why it’s important to keep the dust blown out of your computer, so I won’t rehash the reasons here.

There are several safe options for removing dust from a computer’s innards, including the tried and true method of wielding a can of compressed air.

In the past I always hated using cans of compressed air because they are so expensive, and now I’m happy to announce that I’ve found something I like a lot better.
