    Is it okay to cover a desktop PC when not in use?

    Exactly, I thought the power switch was strictly for hard resets after your newest OC causes a system hang running prime95. If I was going up cover my PC I wouldn't use a plastic bag. Pillow case or ideally a custom sewn cover. I hate plastic.

    A new computer

    I've had people tell me to my face I'm wrong and hold up a totally false ai overview response from Google as proof... In a highly regulated and technical industry. It's easily debunked with hard facts, but for real AI is going to kill us all.

    Arduino for a salt spreader controller

    There's so much Arduino stuff, you could probably find a motor control shield that allows you to use PWM to control speed if you wish. A well designed shield should have all your required connections. For any splices or off board power connections, I'd recommend using Waco lever nuts. I used...

    Arduino for a salt spreader controller

    Right, and thats simple, you're not directly switching a motor, so back EMF isnt a thing, and you're using a relay anyway so the MCU is isolated. That's a standard method. Its when you get into directly switching a motor that some kinda complex things start going on - electric fields and whatnot.
