Love all the videos! How about one discussing what you do with unused/totally broken stuff How much it takes up space - like the 'what it's like years after' video?

What a great simple breakdown of what goes on Thank you

I've purchased and refurbished 2 scanning electron microscopes from recyclers

ide love to but iCloud activation love prevents me ugh
Comment from : @CFyfe86

I really like tinkering with broken laptops and try to fix it But if I do fix it, it takes good amount of my time, maybe few hours at least But pricing my time in, there is no way to make this a business It can only be a hobby

Hey man! I volunteer at a reuse/recycling facility in Cincinnati Do you just update your Macs to the latest OS they will run natively, or do you use opencore to bring them up to date? If using opencore, do you just create an admin profile and set it up that way? I'm just so nervous about most people skill level that I end up selling them for $10-$40 depending on grade and year I just bring the rarest ones home for my personal collection I'm also known as The Mac Guy, but conflicts of interest keep me from personally making a profit It's all about the non-profit

Hi! I’ve been looking for weird tech like medical tablets or whatnot but I can’t (or at least for cheap) because I live in the UK Do you have any tips I can use to get e-“waste”?
Comment from : @KelTack

The mlst difficult part for people buying recycled goods is paying
Comment from : @contradictorycrow4327

I only refurbish "e waste" as a hobby rather than for profit, as it's (for me anyway) impossible to register a business and charge all the taxes while giving 12 months (mandatory) warranty here in germany Even now while just charging what I have to spend on fuel and parts (usually hdd/ssd), I run into people reporting to paypal customer service and see if they get away with itbrbrI can relate to the video I'm pretty much the "IT trash guy" for a non profit, which itself gets stuff donated They only want to deal with Laptops and Apple producs, as the market for used/refurbished office PCs is so dead, they're seen as a waste of storage space and would otherwise go to the e-waste binbrbrIt's of course highly subjective, but I believe most systems Sandy Bridge and newer would have some place to be used Some might be inclined to say that that's really old junk, but a i5 2400 has more performance than a N4500 that's still sold new in chromebooks and the like, usually paired with tiny amounts of eMMc storage that will degrade quickly

An interesting discussion As a small scrap/recycling biz in Western North Carolina I'm up to my eyeballs in this biz Working on building my network but have three well established businesses I'm buying from and some good long term buyers I'm selling to Your recommendation for how to find sources is spot on
Comment from : @sharkscrapper

I have no idea why I would be buying anything for my electronic recyclers and why this is even on my feed, because I just don't understand what the algorithms are doing anymore why they make my life such hell I'm tired of being bombarded with sponsored long-form ads for things I don't have any interest in and I'm not going to patronize So, please, just go away

Comment from : @Green_garlic_lady_gaga

I started working for myself doing audio equipment repair after covid, focusing on older tech and some gear many people think is unfixable Its been great thank you for the video I do have to disagree about FB marketplace replacing ebay I do not see that happing anytime soon too many bots, fake accounts, flakey sellers and buyers etc etc the only "improvements" marketplace has had over the past 5 years is just placing more ads If I had to sell there for a living I would have quit 6 months in 😂
Comment from : @renegade43

if they're selling on ebay, i would think they have the infrastructure to ship items and the knowledge to know it's worth more than "$15" i'd rather try to find someone who is closer to a scrapyard and don't know or aren't paid to maximize profit or refurbish and load an OS , i think there's more leverage there
Comment from : @donkeykong1234

Loved the video, hated the AI images used within it

@17:45 I just looked it up and looks like they just passed some laws in several states to squash this nonsense
Comment from : @callmebigpapa

Recycling has always been about destruction from the very beginning It only started to change because of company's getting caught & Newer smaller company's that got started because they wanted to be what the other claimed to be

Comment from : @SnepperStepTV

Why does this video make landfills seem bad? This country has so much unused land and a completed landfill doesn't look bad Penn and Teller did a great video debunking the nonsense hysteria on recycling and went into landfills and how little land area they actually use

I know this likely won't be replied to but how often do you find decent computers, monitors, and PC parts?
Comment from : @rider4440

I have said many times that "You make money when you buy, not when you sell" I was doing this very thing overt 20 years ago Recyclers are great but it takes a bit of time to build relationships

My Dell laptop is 8 years old! I refuse to buy a new one WINDOWS 10 has been getting annoyingly slow! And guess what? I installed Ubuntu 2404 LTS, and it runs like a charm I also have an old Vista laptop and installed Ubuntu, and it runs great! Companies like Dell and Microsoft secretly advocate wastefulness on electronics, forcing you to buy new laptops and WINDOWS releases, which are craps!

Comment from : @LowEndPCGaming

I'm an IT guy with a customer in N AZ that accepts "e-waste" from businesses, and local government They reuse some of it internally or give/sell a little locally but they are often sitting on dozens or even hundreds of good quality laptops and desktops that need only minor refurbishing (hard drives are usually missing) They would LOVE to find someone to take them off their hands for cheap and put them back into service
