  • I THINK you could accomplish something like this by making your swap file absurdly huge (like 1tb) and then setting your application to use the \tmp or any of the other folders that are technically in RAM in Linux. The only issue is I don’t know if you could tell it to only use the m.2 and it would obviously be somewhat random with where it locates data in the m.2 vs actual RAM. Maybe if you set your swap to a different device and ONLY told it to use that?

    I suspect that still probably wouldn’t be exactly what you want. What you actually want is Intel optane.




  • The concerns for range anxiety are well founded too. I had to rent a car the other day, and the only thing they had available was a Tesla model 3. Aside from the issues Teslas themselves have, the 90 miles I had to travel became an immediate concern because it was in a rural area and the town I went to literally had two chargers, and they were privately owned.

    The 280 miles I was quoted as range quickly became 170, despite turning off the heat, not charging my phone, using cruise control at 3MPH below the speed limit, and changing all the settings I could conceivably find to turn down my power consumption. I wound up having to beg a private owner to let me use their charger because what would normally be a simple trip became a massive chore. My other option was waking up hours early to drive to a town 40 miles away where they had a super charger and leaving from there, also just barely making it back to the rental car return.

    The time to charge the Tesla on a 220v charger btw was over 5 hours from 48%. Absolutely none of my experience matched that of the advertised and it’s completely turned me off electric cars until they can start fixing some of these issues.
