thrifting/looking on the used market for old tech really sucks if you're not in a major area
the times when one would find a CRT on the side of the road seem to be long gone

@esm idk one day last autumn i was going home from uni and there just was a vga lcd monitor standing by the road
i checked it, its mobo was dead but the screen was fine, i slapped a sticker on it saying "MOBO DEAD" and left it where it was. its further destiny is unknown, probably repurposed for parts in someone's homelab. or scrapped
