    Oculus 3 age verification

    Remembering the disaster that was crypto mining and it's detrimental affects on GPU prices.

    I got into crypto when you could still mine bitcoin on a gpu and create your own pool. Bitcoin was worth roughly $80. Those days felt like the wild west compared to today. To go back in time and just buy those extra blades I should have gotten.

    Is there ever a reason to re-apply fresh thermal paste after a few years?

    In my 30 years now, unless I wasn't happy with the initial application, I have never reapplied TIM to any device. My oldest rig which was on the x58 chipset ran for like 12 years without anything but fan cleaning.
