It makes total sense why you all have so many computer problems. I once spent like half an hour trying to diagnose why my friend’s computer was so slow over the phone only to find out that she never restarts it or shuts it down. Once she did, it was magically fine again.

Why not? It’s good for it to reboot once in a while.

Letting the battery fully drain is the worst thing you can do for its longevity. That’s the case for phones too. If you want to maximize your computer and phone’s performances, shut them down at the end of every night and keep the battery above 20%
