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Outdated policies prevent working PCs or parts from being donated to institutions who may have ZERO equipment.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

“Tragic: A school shows some of the e-waste from Windows 11 not supporting older hardware. 😢”

@mac84tv @ActionRetro While I was at Uni (early 1890s), a technician was tossing *loads* of Mac Classics / SE 30s into a skip. They were functional but being replaced. I asked for one. Was told “no”. That was so wasteful. They could have given one to all of us in my year. But, no. Landfill.
