Can frequent change of settings use the components?

Hello,


The question might be a bit silly but I wanted to ask before having issues. I have a monitor at work that is on the right side of my MacBook Pro. At home, my monotor is on the left. Every Monday, I change the display settings to put the second display on the right side and every Friday I change it back to the left side.


I was wondering if changing the settings too frequently can damage some physical components within my MacBook Pro like the display card or something?


I remember on my previous PCs (yes, I wasn’t a Mac user before :( ) changing the settings too much killed my sound card and other things in the computer which I had to get replaced. Is it the same thing here with the Mac? Or am I 100% safe with changing the settings twice a week?


Thank you

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.4
