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.

Btw, shiny platter lol.
Don't post that, people can read your data! Obviously I'm kidding.
If you've never taken one apart before, the disk head can make an excellent ray gun for the right action figures and the magnets are a lot of fun but can be deceptively strong. Don't let two hard drive magnets touch, you might never get them apart again.
I have opened some before, but every single time, I'm just kind of awestruck that this thing actually works. It's such a delicate dance of these rapidly moving components, it's hard to even comprehend. SSDs are much much simpler in comparison.
