Myth: You shouldn’t keep turning your computer off because you will wear it out.
Computers purchased in the last 10 years will not be damaged by lots of powering on and off. Today’s PCs are designed to handle 40,000 on/off cycles before failure, and that’s the number you likely won’t reach during the computer’s typical five-to-seven year life span.
Most alkaline batteries collected through household battery collection programs are disposed of in hazardous waste landfills; even stores that have take-back programs admit they often end up in the trash. Ideal Bite recommends buying re-chargeable batteries, which can be used dozens or even hundreds of times (depending on the type of battery), but they can also be recycled.
