Answer: ....

Dust and debris can cause performance deterioration.

Explanation:

Dust is a problem from the standpoint of blocking fan vents, or, if deep enough, actually insulating parts, causing overheating, but unless it contains substantial amounts of corrosive or conductive material (in which case you shouldn’t be breathing it), it won’t damage the electrical components (beyond any overheating damage).

What could happen, in some circumstances, is condensation inside the box, mixing with dust and creating a conductive sludge. This would generally only occur if you bring the box in from an extremely cold environment (below 0C, roughly) into a humid indoor environment. The protection from this is to wrap the box tightly in plastic before bringing it indoors, and leave it wrapped for a couple of hours, while it has time to warm up.

• What advantage does a circuit-switched network have over a packet-switched network? What advantages does TDM have over FDM in
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Advantages of both circuit switched networks and TDM are given below:

Explanation:

Advantages of circuit switched network over packet switched network:

  • Circuit switched network has the advantage of being physically connected and having a dedicated channel for communication between the sender and the receiver which also makes it more reliable. Packet switched networks do not have a dedicated channel hence, they are not that reliable.
  • Circuit switched networks are used for voice calls because there is no timing jitter or delay in these types of networks while packet switched networks do not offer this advantage.

Advantages of TDM over FDM in a circuit switched network:

  • TDM is time division multiplexing i.e. multiple information is sent in different time intervals but on the same frequency. While FDM sends information using different frequencies. So, the advantage of using TDM is that the information will be sent from the sender to the receiver using only a single frequency.
  • Using TDM, bandwidth is saved because it only sends information on a single frequency unlike FDM.
  • In TDM, there is low chance of interference between signals since they are sent in different time intervals from the sender to the receiver. While FDM has a higher chance of interference.

Briefly explain the cooling mechanism implemented in FANLESS Laptops
Akimi4 [234]

The primary function of a fan in a computer system is to cool down the internal components and prevent overheating. Fanless computers use alternative cooling methods and lower-powered components that give off less heat. As a result, these machines are quieter during operation, use less energy and are often more compact than fan-based computers. These advantages are particularly important in business settings.
