Be ready to do some walking since the locations are fairly spread out. + +Open to all who are interested. + +## What to Expect + +There are almost always free office-grade monitors and keyboards to be found. It's also fairly +common to see decade-old PCs with RAM and HDDs, provided that no one else scavenged them first. +Sometimes, valuable stuff gets thrown away like oscilloscopes, Macs from < 10 years ago, CRTs, NVMe +SSDs, and PCs from the 1980s (as featured at the [Spring Installfest](/events/installfest-s24)). + +The more valuable stuff could require some repairs, but it's not too difficult for a seasoned EE +student. Actually, it might surprise you how much perfectly working stuff gets thrown out. Lots of +the hard drives from labs don't even get wiped, and we've found adult content on them before... + +Your chances of finding something cool will go up the more regularly you check! diff --git a/content/news.md b/content/news.md index 8e4e69a..49455ff 100644 --- a/content/news.md +++ b/content/news.md @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ title: News --- +- 2024-05-10: Updated list of services and info for upcoming e-waste event. - 2024-05-03: Added the [Services](/services) page. - 2024-04-03: Site updates.
