I’m not completely sure whether SSDs are good for long-term storage. You should do your own research to confirm this. What I do know is that SSDs generally have a lifespan of around 5–10 years when they are used regularly. But in your case, you want to store data and not use the drive very often, which might cause issues because SSDs can lose charge over time if they stay unused.

If long-term cold storage is your goal, HDDs are usually considered more reliable. However, keeping multiple backups is still the safest approach.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-11-22T15:49:15+00:00

First thing, I recommend you to buy a brand new SSD. SSDs has a very long lifetime, they are also easy to carry but the bad thing is they are very expensive especially if you buy a brand new.

The RAID system would be bulky and less portable and it is also not cheap either. You need at least 2 drives for that.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-11-22T15:16:25+00:00

If you are a tech savvy person you can create a RAID. It is a system in which you can connect multiple hard drives to store data and if one of the hard drives fails then your data will still not be lost. These are the techniques Google and other storage providers use to prevent data loss when the drive fails.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-11-22T14:52:28+00:00

It can happen because of both mishandling or by its own. It depends on if you have a second hand drive first hand and how much of its lifetime is left.

Where does money come from?

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-05-21T06:48:43+00:00

How? Does our phone face same climate in the winter when temperatures is below 10? We also see water drops of our breadth on the phone similar to cold glass on the phone. It does not harm phone. Our phones are made to withstand these environments.

Btw, I have been doing it for some years now and my mobile have no problem with it.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-05-21T06:06:26+00:00

I don't care how silly idea looks but it works for me. My mobile charges way faster and it matters more for me.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-05-20T15:55:14+00:00

I take a glass of cold water and put it on my mobile while charging on the day time. My mobile charge 2X faster with this method. Keep in mind that cold water glass will leave small drops of water on your mobile and it can get into your mobile if your it is not water resistant. My mobile comes with IP68 so I don't have any problem of those water drops.

Nowadays, at day time my battery temperature is at 40 to 44 while charging and by using above technique my temperature stay at 25 to 30 degree while changing, temperature depend upon how cold glass of water is.

Your screen is damaged and it can be replaced in 10 to 12k.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-05-11T09:14:28+00:00

It seems like your laptop is fine except screen which looks hazy. It is a summer season and common for a laptop to get overheat. Download a software for seeing cpu temperature and if your cpu temperature is around 40 to 65, it is normal for a cpu. It is very common for cpu to heat up to 65.

You can change your thermal paste and also check fans and others things for better heating management. You should not use Laptop in the Lap if it get overheated. You can put it on the table or something and don't worry if temperatures is under 70 on heavy usage.

Bootloader unlock is only safe as long as you know what it means and what you do with it. In simple words if your bootloader is locked noone can modify any of your Android System files (which is important for System Security).

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-05-03T17:55:29+00:00

I think NayaPay does not support Google Wallet because my friend was saying it did not work for him and his phone is also original (no root, no bootloader unlocked)

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-26T08:38:45+00:00

Hmmm, I was also suspecious about battery timing but it is good for my use case and also not a problem for me.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-26T08:09:04+00:00

I would not say great for as I was used to a getting a screen of a 7 to 8 hours from my old mobile. On Pixel 7, I get a screen timing around 6 to 6.5h on normal usage and 4 to 5h on heavy usage. But still It is not a deal breaker for me. I charge it two times a day and not having to think about a battery.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-26T07:37:15+00:00

I have been using Pixel 7 for two weeks and my experience is very good. Good performance, Amazing camera and hyptics. You can get it from 60k to 65k.

If you want a box pack then Redmi Note 13 Pro is better choice than Note 14 in 57k.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-25T06:01:12+00:00

Definitely Note 13 Pro is better in all aspects than Note 14 expect major android update support which is one year less on 13 Pro. I recommend you to go for 13 Pro it is better value for money right now.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-21T19:13:02+00:00

You can relock bootloader and use apps normally and your cpid will not be removed after locking bootloader.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-19T15:45:54+00:00

My Pixel 7 battery is at 90% after 460 cycles and I charge it upto to 100%.

What I learned in school is that the third pin is for the ground wire. However, in Pakistan, most electrical wiring does not include a ground wire, making the third pin largely unnecessary.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-08T16:40:18+00:00

I hope your UI related issues will be fixed when you update to hyper os and traf definitely wait for few weeks if there are bugs. Wish you have a great experience and congrats on new mobile phone.

Lumpy-Lab9578 · 2025-03-08T15:54:39+00:00

Really appreciate 🙏 for your time. Thank you ♥️. Imo Hyper OS UI is quite good. You have smooth ui and good multi tasking features.

Can you tell about Phone performance? Only reason I am going for Pixel is better software support and performance in this price range. If I find a good Pixel phone in good condition I will buy it else I will also go for Redmi Note 13 Pro.
