I know right? Old piece of hardware getting retired? It gets new life if I have something for it to do. I'm looking at my Brother HL-5170DN from 2006 that got tossed because the 2nd tray kept jamming. Guess who doesn't need a 2nd tray and loves this printer?
My first home server was a decommissioned small business server. Was a file server for a long time until the hard drives started to go.
Yuuuuuuuuuup. I always try to repurpose first instead of tossing. Even tossing for tech is a donation first if I can.
Only thing I don't love is a case I've had forever is an old enough ATX design that I can't easily fit all the new things in it. I'd love to repurpose it for a desktop for her but I don't think I'm going to love building things in it if I do.
Yall IT guys are daisys thinking HR wouldn't stop at owning slaves and put retired employees to work at home
