Sustainable Tech
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.

Got any local makerspaces? Someone there would probably be interested in it.
I guess I can try facebook marketplace. But then I'll have to reactivate my account. The local food pantry does keep some hardware. (I once found a VGA cable there lol.) I'll talk to them to see if they'll accept it in this condition.
Without ram it's almost cruel to donate it to places that have no clue wtf to do with it. Many will just chuck it because "it doesn't work"
But an 8th gen i7 is good enough that plenty of people would be interested for the right place. List it for cheap on something like FB Marketplace. Don't offer it for free on there.
