It would be lovely if it became a standard part of everybody's work day to spent 15 minutes doing TLC to their computer.

You'd clear away all the stubs of work, and the computer would say "Hi! Did you have a good work day? Here are a few things that would be great for you to do:

1. Upgrade these two apps

2. Do you want to check out how Dark Mode works? No? Ok

3. You've had these 46 tabs open since that one day six weeks ago you got into the idea of building your own treehouse. Want me to save them all in a notebook entry and remind you about it next summer?

Really, any machine needs maintenance. Even an electric stove or a microwave needs an occasional clean if it gets dirty. Why should computers be the only special appliance that needs no maintenance whatsoever?
