She'd lose battle of wits against a stuffed iguana. She's essentially unarmed

A rehabilitated convict turned prison cleric actually

I was on a night train, alone in the compartment, when a door opened around 2am letting in a very tall guy built like a fridge. I'm above average in height and build and he dwarfed me. He had a face to match including a long scar going from his eye to the jaw bone. Think Marv from Sin City, but more grim and less charming.

He nodded, took off his coat and that's when I noticed a clerical collar.

The problem with that is it would be an aluminum radiator, so you'd get electrolytic corrosion with copper blocks / fittings (vast majority of the market) gunking the whole thing up fairly quickly

I've got a redneck engineering version of this that is arguably better: 4 480x120x45mm radiators mounted on a generic 20 inch box fan - even at the lowest fan speed it has no problem keeping 2 high end PCs (daisy chained) VERY cool and is almost completely silent. I've added a frame from $10 worth of aluminium flat from a hardware store and used metal screws to attach extended feet directly to the frame of the fan so it doesn't fall over - I've only used a hacksaw blade and a drill to make it, I've lived in a condo at the time and that's all I've had available.

Even at double the price you still end up paying under $0.10 per shave - maybe $25/year - and that's if you pay full price. A small fraction of what you'd pay for cartridges or disposable razors.

This. I bought 500 feather blades for $40 (which is more of a steal than a deal) in 2013 and they will last me many more years

Even if they had all parts they would be looking at months of cleanup

If you are on stock software on EOL device you are not getting os updates either.

Also a bunch of recent vulns were in SoC specific stuff - outside os.

No security fixes once the device reaches end of life. For pixel 4a end of security updates was 10 months ago. That mostly is a problem with malicious apps - there were some privilege escalation bugs in those 10 months - but sometimes you get a banger that can get exploited by simply loading a page or opening an image.

Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it's way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven't checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.
