Can I play computer in thunderstorm weather?

It is best not to use computers in thunderstorm weather.

In thunderstorm weather, lightning may enter the computer along the power cord or telephone line, damaging the chip, interface and internet access equipment of the computer motherboard, resulting in hardware damage and communication failure.

Matters needing attention in using computer in thunderstorm weather:

First, make sure that the computer has a good grounding lead. This can lead the current generated by lightning to the ground along the grounding lead and minimize the damage. At present, most computers use three-way plugs, so we need to check whether the corresponding sockets are well grounded. At the same time, a few laptops use two-way plugs, and more attention should be paid to lightning protection.

Secondly, try not to surf the internet in thunderstorm weather. For users who use dial-up or ADSL to surf the Internet, try not to use modem or ADSL equipment at this time, and unplug the connected telephone line. For the current popular wireless LAN or CDMA, GPRS and other wireless internet access methods, we should also try to avoid thunderstorm weather, and at the same time turn off the wireless network card or unplug the CDMA, GPRS network card.
