I am too lazy to replace it (one of those modern hard to open laptops)
I am too lazy to test and clone a 1TB (or more) drive
I actually used an SSD before with an old laptop, but that only required removing 2 screws. As for cleaning out dust, I don’t use it much anyway, mainly because I don’t want to deal with cracking this open.
I am just looking at getting some used ThinkPad.
But anyway, most stuff can be done on a smartphone. On the other hand, I already killed 1 motherboard likely due to overheating while re-encoding videos to AV1 in Termux. It was replaced under warranty both times though. The second time it was just some issue with communicating with cameras. Yeah, I am on this phone’s 3rd motherboard.
But anyway, it’s a laptop. I reboot it like once a month when updating, so it’s not a big deal.
I am a cheapskate

Can you use hardware acceleration while encoding or did you cook the CPU?
No hardware acceleration. Anyway, AV1 hardware encoding is a new thing anyway.
