5 bad habits that are ruining your expensive tech

  There's something special about taking a   new phone , tablet, or laptop out of the box. That shiny, clean device will soon be managing your schedule, saving your memories, and connecting you with friends and family—all important tasks. These days, we rely on  technology  to do so much—for work, for school, for play—and we want our devices to work like new for as long as possible. But it doesn't always happen, in part, because of bad habits that can shorten the life of our tech. The good news is that those habits are easy to change. We'll walk you through them and offer five simple tips from our experts about how to keep your devices working like new for longer. 1. Using chargers and cords that aren't made for your device Cheap, off-brand chargers may seem appealing, especially when your battery is running low and you're away from home. But many of these knockoffs haven't gone through the same testing process that, say,  Apple ® requires. These off-brand charg...

Should You Cover Your Laptop Camera When It’s Not in Use?

 You’d be hard-pressed to find a  laptop  that doesn’t have a built-in webcam nowadays. While that makes it easier to hop on a Zoom call or FaceTime, you might worry about leaving that  camera  uncovered all the time. According to Steve Blair, CR’s lead privacy and security researcher, it’s possible for webcams to be  hacked  and set to record audio and/or video without your knowledge. The odds of that happening to an everyday consumer (as opposed to a  high-profile target  like an activist or government worker) are probably low. But if you’re concerned, you can cover the camera with a bit of tape when it’s not in use. You can also buy stick-on  laptop camera  covers that slide shut. Some  laptops , such as the Lenovo ThinkPad and the MSI Prestige (below), have built-in privacy covers for their webcams. Even if the  camera  is covered, the built-in mic could still pick up audio. To address that, you can go into the sy...

Save cycles, save your battery

All laptop batteries are built to handle a certain number of charge cycles, usually somewhere around 500 full cycles — and sometimes even more. Essentially, a charge cycle equals one full discharge down to 0% and then a recharge back up to 100%. A discharge down to 50% and then back to 100% would equal half a cycle. Over time, each charge cycle decreases a battery ’s capacity from its design specifications, meaning that the fewer times you drain it, the longer the battery lasts — all other things being equal. So, where do you start? You can begin by visiting the power settings corner of your laptop and learning how your battery works and what battery settings to enable. Also, pay attention to hibernation modes. Ideally, you want your laptop to enter into hibernation before the battery is totally drained — as well as during downtime when you won’t be using the laptop for a while. To save even more power, take a tour of your apps and quit any that are running in the background and ste...
