Changed my mind about using canned air for cleaning PCs

I used to blast everything with it, but after a laptop fan seized from moisture last month, I switched to a $40 electric duster. The difference in control and no liquid risk is huge. Anyone else make the switch and notice less component stress?

Oh wow, I saw a tech article saying that exact thing about the moisture in canned air. It can actually freeze and damage small parts if you hold it wrong. An electric duster just seems way safer for the long run.

Totally, that moisture risk is real.

Ugh, I learned that the hard way with a phone in my gym bag.
