Why do computers start to slow down over time?
In: 1180
Something I don’t see here, and it’s the most obvious one, is that the hardware degrades over time due to thermal changes. The more extreme the changes the more damage your hardware accumulates. The change may seem small and insignificant mathematically but remember that SOCs are made on the scale of nanometers. So, those extremely small changes caused by compression and expansion have a significant effect. This is why it’s suggested to try and keep your devices as close to ambient temp as you can if you want them to last.
