doing research on refurbishing old hard drives, and i learned that the platters are typically coated with a PFPE-based oil.

@tubetime That's grim. Another tainted product.

@tubetime This means I shouldn't use them as a serving dish! Y'know, because the big spindle hole isn't enough deterrent :)

@tubetime Ok I'm pretty stupid so ELI5: What does that mean, is this PFPE oil dangerous? I've built little decorations out of old disk platters, was it stupid to hang them inside my apartment?

@tubetime make shure to not loose alignment of the platters or else you gotta need to deep-reformat that thing!
