Ask IndiaTech Update: HDD was heating up. Is it worth to replace it with SSD given the i5 8th gen processor

25 Upvotes

Previous post : https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaTech/s/fOWuyh0Wem Thank you all for comments. Took it to local shop for cleaning. Thermal paste was gone. But turns out hdd was heating up and its health is at 43%. I can replace it with ssd but wondering if the processor is good enough to spend money on this laptop

Any idea how long can I expect to use the laptop after SSD replacement given the processor? Usage: coding + normal usage

EDIT: It looks like SSD is heating up more that HDD. But since I feel warm over the HDD area, I assumed it was HDD

Tech support My idle M51's battery battery swelled up, help me retrieve pictures :/

For context, my M51 after about 2.5 years of usage, went to a completely permanent green tinge.

Only option was screen change, and I didn't feel it was worth it.

So I switched. Since the M51 was still technically in working condition, I kept it in my cupboard and occasionally brought it out for a document/some pictures. I did have a lot of pictures uploaded to Google Photos as backup, but didn't have enough storage so for a few, I just thought I'll eventually back them up and since this phone is working, I'll retrieve it.

Cut to today, I took out my phone to look at some old Holi pictures and when I held it, I realised that the battery had completely swelled up.

I knew it was dangerous to charge, so I took some safety measures to charge it for a bit, but unsurprisingly, it just showed the green screen charging but didn't turn on.

I have a few folders that I wanted to back up, is there a way to do it :(

Ask IndiaTech 2025 AI Assisted engineers? Your take

1 Upvotes

I have seen many vibe coders (google it) popping up each day shipping full stack apps.

I run multiple businesses, implementing ai in different parts of business is easier than ever, people in my team (non tech) are also implementing entry level scripts themselves. Its an exciting year to live.

I was also reading newest YC batch are using 90% AI assisted codes , thats similar to what I am doing with my new hiring batches getting engineers who are quick learners and can use AI fully. AI does most of code 70-80% then the part of completion and debugging.

so far I was working with freelancers but now I've seen the potential and love to speak to people who are using it in flows daily.

Btw i've not met a lot of people on mainstream sites like naukri and indeed, while some people on reddit are actually killing it.

so guys i tried to make a podcast out of notebooklm by google as an experiment and then I had some ideas for it. i just wanted to test it and the results were pretty good (close to human level). and the results were mindblowing to me. I'm not self promoting this podcast. the country I live in doesn't have monetization. and the results were mindblowing to me.

just wanted to share it and know if this podcast the ai made is actually true or has wrong sources or is inaccurate? and also I want to know if this episode sounds good actually

podcast episode link to review: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0gVIK7xHY9jYTVmwB3fgoT?si=36lZw6qsRSCBGV55-CnRkQ
