@lotd @AlexDeLarge Plus you might accidentally pull a tiny, delicate wire loose. A good blowjob really is the way to go.

lotd79227y@AlexDeLarge I have never had any issues, usually using an old Nilfisk..
Can even use it to blow it away, but being creative with the bag hook.. :)
I imagine with a hand model or iron tube, it could be dangerous.. -
aaxa24267y@lotd Tbh, that you never had any issues so far is like saying that you live in a house made of hay, and saying that it hasn't caught fire yet, so everything is fine.
The fact that vacuum cleaners generate static electricity and that it can destroy your components, is true. Why do you think most professionals wear an antistatic armwrist when building a PC? 😉 -
lotd79227y@aaxa I wear anti static and sometimes even plastic gloves when touching the inner, but just dusting it off with a vacuum..
As far as I'm concerned, as long as you touch something that act as a null, eg. a radiator.
And keep it at a reasonable distance, would it really be that much a danger?
I guess if the vacuum is too powerful, the air could pose a threat. -
lotd79227yI usually get a bit creative with an extra hose and an old dog collar where the dust bag gets attached :p
Well the tube is rubber and the handle / attachment are usually plastic.. :p
I have a bit trouble seeing why it would generate any static, especially if you're keeping a distance and touching something that acts as a null (eg. arm against radiator)
For a side note.. When blowing by mouth, you can also wreck your stuff by saliva ;p
If your computer is dusty, give it a blowjob
