Hot take: The old guy who told me to stop using canned air for dusting was right

Tbh I laughed when my mentor Bob said canned air just blows dust deeper into PSUs and laptops, but after three warranty returns last month from one office I finally see what he meant. Has anyone else switched to a data vac or similar and seen fewer callbacks?

Oh man, I had the exact same facepalm moment. Spent a whole afternoon blowing out an old Dell with canned air only to have it die a week later from the gunk that got wedged deeper inside. Finally broke down and bought a little handheld vacuum with a brush attachment and it's been night and day for those dusty corner systems.

Yeah that blowing trick just shoves crap deeper in, bad idea.
