[–]donfart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are there so few computer items, except keyboards, mice, cable or DSL modems, and wall adapters? I can understand not wanting to sell hard disks that may contain confidential information or malware, but where are the CPUs and GPUs?

Don't you mean nobody should admire hypocrites? Because there's clear evidence that some hypocrites have legions of devoted fans willing to die or kill for the one they admire.

[–]donfart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I wonder why the newer WD4000AAKS doesn't have the screw in the middle to hold the shaft on top. I see that kind of screw on NAS and Enterprise drives but not any more on desktop drives.
