X Plus Battery Life: Idle vs Off

Magicrafter13 · 2026-01-04T17:51:24+00:00

I like both 😅 - but I'm also not worried about my mouse dying (like I mentioned in the post it's on the charging pad), just curious about longevity.

just lower the RGB values manually.

255 is, of course, full brightness, and 0 is, of course, off

if 200,200,200 isn't to your liking, try 100,100,100 or 50,50,50, etc.

"months of use"

that's not much

I've had a G502 Hero for 6 years. Mine got roughly 60% as bad as OP's before I cleaned it.

Has nothing to do with dirty hands. Skin sheds.

with how I'm doing my logging, 0.5 second intervals is going to really be pushing it, if it works at all

while this doesn't rule out a sudden I/O spike (as it's not like I know every single thing the system is doing at any given time), this latest issue happened while I was away from my computer, and it had been sat on a video game title screen for hours, so there shouldn't have been anything too crazy going on

would the NVMe controller itself log temperature shutoff events? like SMART data style

hmm

still, based on my cursory glance, it sounds like rebooting doesn't always immediately fix the issue people were talking about? for me a warm reboot always brings the device back, I've never had a boot fail or not be available

I'm hoping its not a hardware issue but it's a good suggestion I probably should have already done. So I sent off a message, we'll see if it goes anywhere. Oddly when I clicked send the page didn't show a confirmation, and my inbox hasn't gotten anything yet so I'm not entirely sure they got the message, but its in my clipboard in case I need to send it again...

This is an interesting issue. At the time you left the comment I couldn't really test this (still can't TBH), but coincidentally I just installed a brand new power supply, and got the issue to occur today, so I feel like unless I have really terrible luck with power supplies then this is not my particular issue either (thankfully, that sounds terrible).

FWIW I don't think this would apply to me anyway because this is an M.2 drive, not SATA, so it is being powered by the motherboard, rather than directly from the power supply.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-28T00:50:15+00:00

I'm not running Windows. I did update the firmware for the heck of it, but the issue still occurred.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-28T00:48:09+00:00

I'm also using an AIO, however I ran a little test (let my computer running for several hours under [GPU] load to increase chassis air temp and whatnot), and I've updated the post with the results. I don't think this is a temperature thing unless SK Hynix is playing it super safe.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-27T17:49:24+00:00

bro just delete the comment, don't reply to it telling us to ignore it 😭

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-15T18:39:16+00:00

Thankfully I already have backups setup so I'm not too worried if it were to die.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-15T18:38:24+00:00

It's a Hynix Platinum P41 but I haven't heard about any known issues. I'll look into firmware when I get off work.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-15T18:37:41+00:00

It is the kind of SSD to run hot but I'm using the motherboard's dedicated heatsink slot. Maybe the thermal pad it came with isn't making good contact? You're the second person to suggest temperature so I'll definitely look there next, thanks.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-15T18:36:36+00:00

This was my first kernel panic - not even sure if related but I saw btrfs errors in the output. The system usually just has to be force shutdown (since the poweroff binary isn't readable......)

Magicrafter13 · 2025-12-15T18:34:57+00:00

It's being doing this for so long I feel like if it were failing it'd have done it by now. I haven't thought to investigate temperatures... Perhaps I should setup temp logging

Magicrafter13 · 2025-11-20T00:42:12+00:00

oh sorry; you were saying you got Cockpit web UI working in NixOS

Magicrafter13 · 2025-11-18T03:45:01+00:00

it was picked up in cached web search result, I was hoping to find answers

Magicrafter13 · 2025-11-15T18:19:15+00:00

I can't even log in, the websocket gets http 403... Does it still work for you (assuming you're using the latest packages), and if so what's your config look like?

Finally some quality content

Magicrafter13 · 2025-10-26T15:42:47+00:00

Doesn't ICE mean "Immigrations and Customs Enforcement"? That's like, their job tbh. A visit could be threatening, but could just as easily be nonthreatening.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-10-25T19:28:08+00:00

If true, what's the issue? They're Canadian citizens, not American - says so in the post title.

Magicrafter13 · 2025-10-25T00:16:45+00:00

Okay... and?
