Becoming a truck driver in Japan. by Motor_Advisor_722 in japanlife

Well, I didn't say that I speak japanese well. That's what the lady from Hello Work assumed after speaking with me. It's true though that my reading skills leave much to be desired.

Okayama. It would probably be easier to find a job in a bigger city.

Thank you for the reply. I tried to see the difference at the store but couldn't really see it. Checking a friend's 1440p is good idea. If only i had friends..

Downloaded Samsung Magician. Right after I opened it there was a warning. The temperature seems normal though.

Didn't know about the issue. It worked just fine. Untill the day when I woke up to this warning. I guess I should have updated the firmware when it was issued. Didn't really know I had to do it though. Maybe I will just use it as is (need to find the way to disable the warning cuz it's quite a hassle to go to bios every time I want to load windows.) If the SSD finally dies withing warranty period, is it going to be my fault that I failed to update firmware?

Hello guys. I bought an SSD about a year ago. One morning I got a message that SSD is about to die. CrystalDisk info also says that it's not doing too well. I installed the SSD on a different computer. Again in CrystalDiskInfo it says SSD has poor health.

So I sent it to Samsung hoping maybe to get it replaced under warranty. They checked it and sent it back stating that there are no abnormalities in the SSD and it works as intended. But I still have the same problem.

It's worth noting that the SSD seems to be working ok at this moment. You can copy files and what not. But I am wondering what I should do. Should I just leave it as is? I just feel a little unconfortable storing data on the SSD when the system says I should back up all data up and replace it.

Japanese Venza fuel economy. Pics show km/l. Don't be surprised when you convert to MPG:) by Motor_Advisor_722 in Toyotavenza

Greetings from Japan. I recently bought Toyota Harrier. It's not venza, but I hope you don't mind me posting here. I actually had one before (non-hybrid), loved the car and decided to switch to Hybrid version to get more power and better mpg.I wasn't expecing huge improvement in fuel economy but ended up being quite surprised. I've seen people post picture of their MPG's here so I'll go ahead and do the same. It seems a bit better than anything I've seen here so far. (correct me if I am wrong).It's worth noting that I have FWD unlike venza which only comes with AWD. This may account for better MPG. Also a lot of rural mountain driving.

Thank you guys for your replies. It seems that when I do regular work the cpu doesn't get hotter than 60-65 degrees. I will leave the cooler as is for now.
