A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'll ~~make Debian servers out of~~ recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

Will you take an old 2013 macbook air?

[–] Geodad@beehaw.org 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Absolutely!

I love giving old hardware a new life.

Once I've finished tinkering, and if it's fully functional, I give them to poor families who can't afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

I’ve thought about starting a charity doing exactly that.

Yeah, the ones with dead ports become part of my network as either storage or some sort of home server.

Recently bought a 2015 MacBook with great specs, running Ventura via OCLP and purring like a kitten 👌
