Conservation (Score: 2, Insightful) by nightsky30@pipedot.org on 2014-07-30 11:18 (#2Q2) I think our society has gotten to the point where they think everything is useless unless it's new, and that simply isn't the case. I've got a desktop I built in 2004 which I somehow coaxed to accept a 1TB drive and had to replace the PSU. But it runs Linux very well. My other box is from 2009. Why throw either of them away when there is still potential for legit use? The newest tech I bought was my tablet back in 2012. But what do I know...I'm just using a dumb phone.
