• As a consumer in capitalism, to buy unnecessary cheap products at a high price. Preferably virtual products that can be scaled up at will without production costs and still generate real profit.

Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...

Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.

Goblins need spare computers everywhere!

Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?

Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?

Can Trump serve a third term as US president?
