Pasina zviito zvakadaro, mushandisi anorasikirwa nekutonga pamusoro pesoftware, haakwanise kuzvimiririra kugadzirisa tsikidzi, kuwedzera maficha matsva, uye kubvisa zvisingakoshi. Shanduko dzinogona kudikanwa kuchengetedza kuvanzika kwako, kugadzirisa nyaya dzemukati izvo mugadziri anoramba kugadzirisa, uye kuwedzera hupenyu hwechishandiso mushure merutsigiro rwayo rwepamutemo kana kusadharara kwekukurudzira kutengwa kwemuenzaniso mutsva.
