well,
I just acquired a 250 GB SSD and I have a dell latitude laptop (vintage 2013).
I know what panel to remove to gain access to the HDD and ram, but my fingers
aren't sufficient to find all the necessary bits to remove so that I can
install the new drive.
anyone willing to help?
I am think
I use both Private Internet Access and VPN Unlimited. I found a coupon
online for lifetime accounts with both services for huge discounts (~$50
total cost). They both work on my Ubuntu 14.04 system as well as my Android
and iOS tablets and phones. VPN Unlimited has some fast streaming servers

find anyone that supports openvpn and you are set. I think nord and
slickvpn are the ones i can verify off the top of my head.

I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as they were recommended
by a couple people who specialize in such things. Also, PIA sponsored
both SCaLE and LibrePlanet and during LibrePlanet promised to release the

I have dealt with latitudes for a while. The NVIDIA systems worked great
with hybrid graphics (thanks to bumblebee!) but the one i had with a radeon
GPU lost its gourd any time i tried to use the AMD GPU. I think the drivers
are just better for nvidia in this regard.

Just as a test. Given how heavy my chrome usage is normally I have disabled
GPU acceleration and I am now using 80% of my CPU load this is up from
14%now when opening browser pages. when i opened chrome in general I was up
from 30% to Full CPU utilization.

your article actually cites the real reason being the GPU drivers as being
the issue, and disabling the hardware acceleration stopped pushing bad
drivers. once they ripped and replaced their drivers their life went back
to normal. This would make tons of sense in that regard.

The Evo 960 is an NVMe drive.
The part of the confusion around M.2 is that it will support 3 different
connections. PCIe x2 PCIe x4 and Sata. and you have to look at the "key"
locations to verify what is what.

Are you sure the "NVMe" in your laptop is actually an NVMe and not just
a sata SSD in an m.2 form factor or an older NVMe that only uses one PCI
channel?
There are a wide variety of NVMes out there with a broad range of
specs. It's definitely not worth the money to save a couple of bucks on

I agree.. not intuitive but as soon as I turned it off Chrome stopped being
such a CPU hog.
One Tab just parks all your tabs in a single tab (so you don't lose them)
and in doing so reduces it's memory footprint.
Seems it helps in Windows too:

turning off hardware acceleration seems counterproductive to reducing CPU
load. That is supposed to allow the GPU to offset load from the CPU.

Rather than forcibly kill browser processes for chrome you can just install
the 'One Tab' plugin (https://www.one-tab.com/); the other issue with
chrome I've had is that I have to turn off hardware acceleration or chrome
is a royal CPU hog. The two together solved my Chrome issues.

Until Chrome also got all screwed up... :(
So now I use Firefox again because I can:
kill $(ps -ef|grep ' true tab$'|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}')
and that kills all browser scripts and crashes all the browser tabs, but the
tabs survive and can be individual
well, the beauty about the "add-in" cards is that you can use any PCI-e slot on
just about any desktop that is newer than vintage 2005. YYou will end up with a
rip-roaring fast machine. :)
