The two most basic pieces of understanding missing from this question, (aside from complex and technical variables regarding bytes stored per block, and the type of SSD memory used), are 1.) Auto-save ONLY updates what has changed since the last auto-save. The entire DRIVE isn’t erased and re-written “once per minute, eight hours a day.” And 2.) that spec defines that each drive BLOCK may be limited to 10,000 write cycles. (One cycle = Complete erase and fill.) But there are a lot more blocks than you know.Example, if your drive can store 500GB of data, that is roughly 500 BILLIION bytes of data. Depending on the exact SSD controller and media in question, that might be broken into anywhere from 75 to 250 billion storage blocks. In regular use, the controller keeps track of which blocks are used, and which are ready to be re-used, and also keeps them in rotation to extend the usable life of each block. In day to day computing, most of the drive blocks, (possibly as high as 99%, particularly those that store consistent OS or application instructions), are static and unchanging. Those might only be cycled once per year.So, in other words, if your drive media is rated for 10,000 write cycles on – let’s use a midpoint – 150 billion storage blocks, that equals 1.5 QUINTILLION total useable block erase/write cycles, a majority of which store data that rarely changes.What’s the takeaway advice based on this math? Buy a large enough capacity drive to assure you don’t overfill it. If 95% of the drive blocks are full and static, (filled and holding previously save data or OS/Application instructions, that rarely changes), that means the remaining 5% of the drive capacity has to handle ALL of the erase/write cycles needed during your active computing. Those areas will certainly become worn faster than designed.

I am the mother of two teenagers, and I am a hairstylist. My daughter is also naturally blonde. She wanted to color her hair dark,not black, but very dark brown. I recognize that hair color is not one of the things I as a parent think is worth actually battling about with my child, or enforcing they stay “natural”. That attitude will only end in resentment and rebellion. What I ended up doing was using a SEMI-Permanent color to tint her hair. Semi-permanent colors will gradually wash out and they actually only attaches to itself , surrounding the outer cuticle of the hair shaft. That means it’s not doing dramatic permanent damage / change to her hair. So if she decides not to be black haired a few months down the road, the color will have faded, a lot, and can be lifted back out much more easily.Once you color hair, it will never ever be the same as it was before the chemical service. But semi-permanent color is the most versatile option. Follow the application instructions carefully. Or have a professional do the service.Another option is to have a professional apply heavy lowlights. This can be done with permanent or semi-permanent color. It looks more natural than a solid color application. It grows out much more softly too, like no dramatic grow out (roots).This is the all over semi permanent. It’s a level 6NThis is her natural color, totally virgin hair.It will be okay mom. Try to carefully suggest not black black hair. My daughter wanted that too. This ended up being very pretty. It also does lighten up. If she wants to keep it dark, we touch it up. If she wants to lighten it up, I put some highlights in. It’s sad seeing our kids hair get all damaged by extreme chemical service, but it’s their hair. Not ours.This worked for us.
