This world is such a terribly wasteful place...

There's a video going around of an iMac being through into a pile or ewaste and setting off a chain reaction of iMac like dominoes.

Outdated policies prevent working PCs or parts from being donated to institutions who may have ZERO equipment.

These could have been used as media players, for educational games, or to teach others how to repair electronics. 👎 Ugh

@mac84tv Apple not supporting older hardware aside, Linux could have been installed on all of these and all of them could have been donated. Such a shame.

@healthiswealth Exactly. Even if these were older PCs, assuming they weren’t full of leaky caps, there’s tons of opportunities to teach people basic electronics and engineering skills... which the world could use a lot more of.
