If only they were made such that they could be easily cleaned and upgraded. I got an old laptop for free because it was extremely slow which made it unusable.
After removing the dust carpet it ran pretty well again. (although I still later upgraded RAM, CPU, and HDD to SSD) Unfortunately it finally gave out, but it got me 3 extra years, in total going 16!
Edit: That is not a factorial:)
Sustainable Tech
!sustainabletech@lemmy.sdf.org
Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn’t a competition, it’s a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.
