I work at a major tech company and most times I go to IT, they tell us to restart our computer. Why is this a necessary process to maintain a normal operating experience?
In: 38
The only thing a computer actually knows how to do is add 1 + 1 because we can make it do this billions of time a second and we’ve spent a long time messing with it we’ve found ways of doing a lot of stuff with this but sometimes the thing it has to do involves a lot of steps and adding and there are unattended effects or info that gets held onto just in case it’s needed again.
Restarting basically sets everything back to zero and dumps out all the stuff being held onto so when you start again those little issues no longer matter because it takes a lot of them a long time to become and issue that needs a new restart.
Also on a modern oc restarting takes like 2 minutes, just do it before you call IT…
