Oh for sure, my stuff is all garbage except my main rig, which is still AM4. My laptops are from 2012/2013 lmao

Rescuing and actually using corp ewaste is so cool!

Oh yeah those things are great. Used the precision when I went back to school to finish up a degree and is still my primary laptop, a thinkpad for my 3d printers, another thinkpad as a Jellyfin server, and my dad used the other precision for a few years, but now that just sits as a backup laptop at my parents house.

Some of my coworkers sold some of the laptops, but that kind of sketched me out because they have “Property of [company I used to work at] Serial No.######” laser etched on top lol
