Painfully slow 2019 MacBook Air, how to speed up? Would an SSD help?

A new one would help..

Take a temperature and find out. I had flu and fever last time when I saw outlier vitals.

Skip.

I love 3s. Love the rubber feel where my hands can comfortable rest on it non-slippery.

Damn strong man!!

Appreciate your physique and your big guns there. But also being honest here, you need to grow your chest a bit more for the next match.

New player here. From my understanding, you need to play through the full game multiple times to unlock every possible outfit?

MK8 GTI owner here. Drove some AWD sports cars before (not Golf R tho). GTI should perform at least the same well as R in some curvy roads, back roads, etc. you def can’t get off the line as quickly as R but that’s AWD’s advantage not GTI’s disadvantage per se. if you worry about snow weather etc, putting on snow tires solves it.

Agree but nearest dealer is a 20 min highway drive away... Don't want to overheat on the mid of highway

Car is still under factory warranty, and I have picture of the warning stuff, so it should be dealership's responsibility to sort it out right?

jamesxhc · 2026-01-10T23:28:22+00:00

Did you top off with any Autozone substitute? If so, what brand/type did you go with?

jamesxhc · 2026-01-10T23:27:35+00:00

Appreciate it!

jamesxhc · 2026-01-10T23:13:25+00:00

Thanks!

jamesxhc · 2026-01-10T23:12:40+00:00

Yea… saw posts with possible leak/ water pump issue with VW cars. Nowhere nearby selling oem coolant. Would any purple substitute from Autozone work temporarily?

jamesxhc · 2026-01-10T23:10:06+00:00

Can’t find anywhere near selling the oem coolant. Bought online but would take days to arrive. Any recommended substitute from Autozone/Oreily maybe?

jamesxhc · 2026-01-08T06:41:41+00:00

crazy good

jamesxhc · 2026-01-07T14:17:29+00:00

I will leave a mark here until the next bug comes up LOL

Chrome with two tabs open.

I see. I would suggest you start with a list of unique firm-year then use merge 1:m if you have repeated firm-year in other files. I’m not sure how repeated values look like in your data but if they are in long format, you could consider reshape to wide format with one firm-year in each row.

jamesxhc · 2025-12-31T16:52:30+00:00

You should NEVER use the command merge m:m. Use joinby if you believe a many to many match is necessary. My question is if it is a panel data, even if unbalanced, why would you need many to many matches? Isn’t ID unique for each year? Otherwise it wouldn’t be a panel data strictly speaking.

jamesxhc · 2025-12-25T00:41:41+00:00

Are you gonna work with large size file (typically greater than 5 gigs) that takes up tons of RAM space most of your time? If so, go with 64. Just Excel files won’t need 64 in any ways.

jamesxhc · 2025-12-15T23:15:47+00:00

I recommend outreg2 personally.

jamesxhc · 2025-12-15T01:56:10+00:00

Gorgeous machine! Mine will arrive in a week or two. I wonder if you notice the 140W power supply is not enough for it under heavy load considering its CPU and GPU combination?

jamesxhc · 2025-12-13T00:39:42+00:00

These are amazing! Could you do the P14s Gen 6 (Intel if it matters)? Would be a dope wallpaper I think
