The hype I am seeing for "refurbished" or "renewed" hard drives for NAS usage seems like false economy to me. These drives need to be a heaps cheaper than they are to be the bargain that youtubers and tech blogs are saying they are. Some of these drives have in excess of 10,000 power on hours. It's been spinning for over a year and you're paying 80% of the original price?!

No thanks

I am very angry at #Microsoft for the 8th gen requirement for #Win11
Yes, older PC were severely hit by HW issue mitigations, but they are not exactly slow: e.g., 6th gen still has enough power for common tasks like web, movies, office or even lightweight games. Much of the HW is dying, but there are lots of such PCs on #refurb market in mint condition and super-affordable. This makes computing less accessible for low-income folks who are not tech savvy to do brave stuff like install #Linux
