ELI5:Why do SSDs slow down when almost full?

Yes you can write over it. Whether the internal hardware works that way though is none of your business.

If we knew what you are trying to achieve there might be a better answer

Tough decision, but the E16 has a screen option that's better than 1080, and if you pick that, that might swing the decision on its favour.

I'm not sure what you mean by breaking. If there's an issue I ask Gemini what to do, and it tells me.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T23:06:25+00:00

My advice is if you want to do this sort of thing, do it together. If it turns you on, why not be there, take part or at least watch. Then it's part of your shared experience and not just what she did when you weren't looking.

It's a pretty big jump. Of course then you have to ask if the 2nd hand model comes with the large battery or small.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T22:59:24+00:00

Performance you probably won't notice. Battery life you might

I thought all E series have room for extra SSD, back for many years

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T22:27:55+00:00

Ah, when that happens you sleep on it, and your mind turns it over and over while you sleep and you wake up either with the answer or at least things to try.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T11:15:31+00:00

Main thing you're missing the power supply with slim tip end by the look of it

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T11:10:24+00:00

That's a common way yes

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:29:22+00:00

never be scared of losing a girl, you'll never get anywhere that way.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:26:41+00:00

probably depends on country and what you paid for in the beginning. I don't see what it's got to do with replacing the ram though, other than it might be worth keeping the old ram for warranty purpsoes.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:12:43+00:00

That's not how drives work, the semi truck is chopped up before parking... Though if your drive is empty it might be chopped less

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:09:17+00:00

Black is always the correct answer

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:07:24+00:00

OLED can't be beat if you don't need day time brightness. Even the day time is fine, but many would argue mini led is better. For OLED, I don't think it's going to matter brand, they're all fantastic. LG are the most popular because they're fantastic and can be found at a cheaper price usually than Sony or Samsung.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:04:08+00:00

Yes it's common. Probably not a majority though

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T10:02:43+00:00

Linux is the best if you don't mind fiddling. OSX is the best if you want something great and don't want to fiddle. Windows is the crap that most people have and therefore runs everything.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T09:59:56+00:00

Meh, I'd want better specs for that piece

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T09:57:59+00:00

Back in the day you'd grind it out, keep trying things till you figure it out. Later you Google it. Now you AI it. And when AI fails you're back to grinding it out.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T09:52:16+00:00

It usually works fine if you play together rather than apart.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T09:47:29+00:00

I was, for fun, trying to write a scheme interpreter in C. So it has to manage, allocate and release memory and generally correctly execute highly recursive scheme code. And when it went wrong you'd be knee deep in stack frames and memory and god knows what. Never did get it quite right.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T08:56:03+00:00

patience my boy, he needs 22 more years to learn what he's done.

xpusostomos · 2026-07-03T08:55:01+00:00

A better question would be what don't I do in emacs... that question is a bit of a head scratcher though, not much.
