Reader Ron Ashrovy wonders if frequent factory resets are dangerous.
No: PCs, phones, TVs, or whatever, should not be damaged by frequent factory resets, beyond the measure of extra wear and tear that such resets cause. (A system undergoing reset typically works very hard for a while as it sets itself back up; but this isn’t fundamentally different from any other heavy use of the device.)
I’d worry more about why you’re having to do frequent resets!
If your device is having recurring, frequent major crashes that are so bad you need to factory reset, something is seriously wrong with your hardware or software.
That’s the real problem — not the resets!
