Humidity, the silent killer

I was wondering why all this new trend with motherboards coming out with "anti-humidity" PCB and i found this nice reading. I thought it may interest others.

that is a great idea, I am on the 3rd floor and it gets so hot and humid up there....

Yeah. Here too. I actually bought a small digital "weather station" and when i am lucky humidity is 65%. I 've seen it up to 78%. I wonder how much it goes up in winter. We have a damn wind here that brings all the humidity directly from the sea...

I live in a dry state as well. I use to run a humidifier whenever I was in my room for any period of time. However I don't do that anymore because I just don't lol... got lazy about it I guess.... that and my humidifier mysteriously disappeared sometime ago.
