✍️ It makes sense, collecting old printed books (before a given year edition) seems a good strategy to be sure that a model is trained with human generated content. Will it be true also with VHS tapes ?

Under a close look, the condition is not that good. The NVMe drive lacks a nut that should lift it off the main board. But that isn’t the worst. The drive is glued to the main board with a piece of thermal pad. Questionable heat distribution.

The seller mentions CPU thermal paste replacement, so after such a wonderful tech solution, I think I should check the CPU as well.

Things I will buy #secondhand so far:

* Phones (in my case #Pixel phones for #GrapheneOS)
* Laptops (I really don't need the latest hardware, especially when running Linux)
* Bikes (got my folding bike used)

Due to inflation etc. people will resort to buy secondhand more and more to not feel like they're getting ripped off. Even vintage/secondhand clothing stores in #Vienna feel like a rip-off, so I've got mixed feelings about that.
