Continuing my quest on becoming a lot more local and sustainable.
My 10 year old GPU started overheating, reaching almost 98C and I needed to apply better thermal paste and replace the pads.
Instead of buying stuff from an online shop, I walked 30 minutes to a local computer repair shop, brought my GPU and with the help of the lovely shop owner, I bought everything I needed there.
The "convenience" of buying things online is a lie and human interaction is deeply needed.
Support local shops!
