@streakmachine You're quite right, Ewen did warn us of the unreliability of Kingston SSDs.
It's a hot night. The wine in the bottle was cold. You can see where this is headed.
My usual issue with alcohol surfaced again. Once started, I couldn't stop. That ¾-bottle lasted almost 15 minutes.
In my late teens, I used to buy a bottle of cheap sherry or some other fortified wine innthe afternoon and have it finished by the morning. Three or four times a week. Then drive to work some 25 minutes away.
That was hard coming down from such silliness. Add a history of alcoholism on Mum's side of the family and I'm concerned I might be regressing.
At least it was a low-ish alcohol wine tonight, only 7% ABV, just a bit more than a strong beer.
Nope. Not buying Kingston SSDs any more. The 120GB V300 used for diagnostics via a Thunderbolt interface & the 240GB V300 used in the 2008 MBP have both run out of spare blocks, according to both DiskWarrior & TechTool Pro apps. Looks like I'll be replacing the MBP one, most likely with an OWC SSD, they've a more reliable reputation.
@kdfrawg It's been said than when the Scots highland settlers of New Zealand arrived there they felt they were at home due to the seemingly perpetual horizontal drizzle

When I bought this used 2014 MBA in April, it'd had 230 charge cycles on the battery, now that figure is 390, I generally get 4.5 to 5 hours of wi-fi connected battery life per charge.
Xmas day tomorrow is going to be around 38℃ here. But I'll be further inland, where it's "only" expected to reach 35℃.
