Was looking at laptops and found this 2000s Vye UMPC. Anyone know anything about Vye?

I was looking at old laptops on eBay and stumbled across this Vye UMPC https://www.ebay.com/itm/820012733214

I've never heard of this company before. Has anyone heard of them? It looks like a pretty interesting model. Thought it was neat and figured I'd post.

How hard is it to take more than one photo of items?

Something I've been seeing after trying to buy some games in bulk recently. They'll have one picture of the frontside of every item and that's it, nothing else. Most recently I took a risk and bought a bulk listing like this because it seemed like a good deal, only to find out the backside of everything was destroyed upon delivery and I returned it. Left them negative feedback, and they claimed I'm being "nitpicky" which ignores the obvious water damage, rips, and dirt littered all over the backs of the items that wasn't shown or described.

So, I've learned my lesson, and when the listing doesn't have pictures of the backside of the items, I message the seller and ask for more photos and information. And of course nine times out of ten, there's almost always some sort of damage on the back. I just can't comprehend, as both someone who sells and someone who buys, being so lazy as to not show your buyer precisely what it is you're selling. There's gotta be more than just "they're a scammer", right? Do they think buyers just don't give a shit about damage? Am I crazy for thinking slight damage on items being sold at current market price is a deal breaker? I'm mostly posting this to see other people's perspectives, because I just don't get it.

Game freezing after swapping hard drive

Hi. I recently upgraded the hard drive in my original Xbox with a 500 GB SATA SSD with the StarTech IDE to SATA adapter, but I've been having a problem when playing Fatal Frame II on it where the game will freeze seemingly at random. As I said I use the StarTech adapter for the SSD and I have the new 80 pin IDE connector as well. I copied the contents of the old drive to the new drive using Chimp. I haven't tried any other game so far. Just wondering if this is a common issue and if one part is more likely to be the failure point than another.
