haha yeh that can do it! ill do the typical stuff like cc cleaner and doing a defrag. ssds dont need to be refraged as instead of bits being saved all over the drive theyll all be stored together. like updates for a programme for example. also not updating windows can lead to it being slow. and aage does get to them after a while, like phones never lasting more than the 2years of a contract nowadays.

Have been doing some reading, and there are some factors affecting this: ssd utilises this function called TRIM which frees up blocks, since they have low overwrite performance. Activated upon delete, translates to no chance of restoration; whereas hdd unlinks whilst leaving the data intact.
There's some more stuff about starting to lose data when not plugged in for a year or two, high susceptibility to power outages and limitation on number of rewrites per block; not sure whether those have been addressed in recent years. More resistant to environmental factors (magnetism, temperature) and faster, yes.
How long have you had the 2 laptops?

ah yes the trials of animals! my cat has been known to try and use my laptop as a diving board if its slightly hanging over the edge of my desk. one day he'll do real damage to it but so far my Omen is surviving well!

Had one notable leap wherein some usb ports were bent yet survived. Added an elevated surface for a more fixed position and extra friction, nowadays.

my laptops usually onyl last me a couple of years. not because theyre broken or anything, i just get bored and want an upgrade. bigger, better, faster all that jazz. cant help myself :3 i'd be the same with my car if i could afford it xD

How to stop mass shootings.

There are no winners anywhere.
The FBI thing is completely crazy.
Disarming NRA won't work today. It's too late for that.
They're going to build a box...say bye to freedom. All it takes is a vote. Ask Trump.

Since people rush to buy guns as soon as something like this happens, due to fear of them being banned, the NRA are most definitely the winners.

And please note, I have never said ban them completely, all I said is raise the age to 21.

are you saying you can own a gun before you can drink in the US?!?!

Bubble Up and Bubble Down....

@๐•อคอญอฅฬ‡๐•–๐•ฅ๐•šใ€‚(Yeti.) not exactly. if the tills total is over various threshholds then we get bonuses. its based on the team selling effort rather than the individual. but as its such a small team we all have to be on the ball to do well.

I have a HUGE bubble down.

Had a room mate for a while and he moved out. We were good with no room mates, or just the one who is there now, but this older woman I have known for years asked to move in.

I said okay and we moved her stuff in today. As we were moving it in, bugs were falling off her stuff in droves!

She has bed bugs! And knew it and said nothing! And it's so bad that her job told her to not come back!

thats pretty grimm....i dont envy you! are you still going to let her move in??

Like my husband said....they are already here; and if she lives here, she will pay for extermination....

still wouldve been better if she haddnt cause the need for one! hopefully it gets sorted soon
