  • Always depends on context. If you are out somewhere it is good to let them know so they don’t think you left to go home. If its at somebody elseshouse probably no need to mention, if you are the host then good to let this m know if you had something that will take you away for extended period so they aren’t left wondering. Read the room/situations.

    Its all just garbage that gets in the way. My W11 systems was randomly bogging down during documents, excel and powepoint. it was the AI service hogging resources, (c packaged with Office.) Easy fix, just delete the AI executables in a folder, but a product update will probably bring the back.




  • Just know that English sucks. My coworkers, from many other countries, are baffled that their kids have spelling lessons here. In their language the letter is the sound always, and there aren’t things like: doubling letters, silent e and the multitude of pronunciations for ough (rough, though, thought).

    Our brains haven’t evolved with the times. We get stuck on situations of perceived failure, a left over trait to aid in survival so you are prepared for next time. Your brain is taking it as wrong doing and thus shame of letting you ancient village tribe down.

    It is easy to say this, and harder to make the mental shift; but you have to find a method to let these things slide. Like a way this laugh them off or IDGAF attitude. We judge ourselves harsher than any other person, once you get to a place where you don’t care about judgement from others, all the worry about a flub diminishes.

    SMART was established for HDD originally but adopted for SSD later. Some values may not be totally relevant these days…but it is the way the drive records errors, temperature, etc compared to a manufacturer determined threshold. The idea is drive would report to OS that it may be failing before a failure happens.

    Hoepfully you just happened upon a seller looking to get rid of old components and not a scam.

    There is a Linux app like Crystal Disk Mark, called KDiskmark that you can also run for some performance testing. Ifyou’ve connected the ssd to the data/msata interface (rather than using wxtwrnal USB2 adapter), and you get super terrible performance compared to online specs then it could be abused.
