TL;DR Summary
question
Is it possible to maintain an environment with low humidity to preserve electronic devices from oxidation without this low humidity drying out plastic and rubber from electronic devices and DVD discs that are plastic and in that environment? in my room I have two digital hygrometers and an air dehumidifier plus 300 with q compressor that stays on all day because the humidity goes up to 70%, while in the dehumidifier the humidity is at 40% in the hygrometers the measurement is at 50% so I set the dehumidifier to 40

Sure, because plastic and rubber don't "dry out".

You can also run the entire device under oil.

Google tells me that plastic is attacked by UV light and rubber by ozone.

This is a repeat of the OP's earlier question. The answer has not changed. Thread closed.
