RE: Trying to get into upcycling: Bring on the laptops
Can't believe people throw away perfectly usable things. My husband has been collecting old laptops for a while and converting them to Linux which extends their life for much longer. He doesn't sell them though, just enjoys playing around with laptops, says he will donate them to those in need when he collects a big enough batch.
And kudos to you and @steemmatt for this upcycling initiative, I think its great as its very environmentally friendly 👍👍👍
I do a bit of the same thing when it comes to desktops. I'll take what I need and throw a distro like lubuntu or Manjaro on them. I'd like to have a variety even though I probably wouldn't use them all. Just for collection.
But you'd be surprised at what people throw out for even the smallest things. 40+ inch tvs that only need to have a board replacement sitting out on the curb.
