Definitely don’t defrag regularly because, yes, it will wear out the SSD. However, defragging once will move the files into a contiguous chunk of the partition and allow you greater success at shrinking it.
I seem to remember disabling hibernation and swapfile, then defragging, seemed to significantly increase the chances of success shrinking an active partition.
(Re-enable hibernation/swap after the shrink operation is finished.)
This as well as its GUI are what I use. It is a bit annoying as you have to redo some steps after windows or driver updates.
This was probably 1997ish. My godparents had a computer with AOL, and I remember being blown away by chat rooms and being able to instantly communicate with people from all over the world. A year later, my family joined got our first internet connection.
If you mean the “Manually block sleep and screen locking” toggle in the battery icon in the systray, then no, that didn’t stop the lid action.
