What to do with this old tech stuff? Keep, donate, recycle, trash?

1. If your neighbour is cool, and it's to your benefit to keep him and his family on-side, sell it to him for a discounted price.

2. If not, then sell it to some toher dude.

3. Forget the ZIP drive and SCSI stuff, man.

I wanted to hate Facebook Marketplace but it has effectively replaced Craigslist as a place for me to sell things. It's a giant pain in the ass to search for stuff on there though, so I still go to Craigslist to browse.

Lori had an nine-year-old PC laptop in a drawer in her lab. In the past, it was used by a lab tech and graduate student. It had not been touched since 2018, so she brought it home for me. It took some aggravation, but I upgraded the OS from Win7 to 10. Fresh OS install is nice. Although, I am not sure what I will do with it. Take it with me while traveling, maybe. I had the idea that I could edit video on the road, if I wanted to edit adventure videos of our travels. Not sure if I would do that at the moment. I have not decided. It would be nice to use Premiere, but I can't use it on more than two devices. Creative Cloud is already being used on two of our home computers.

Microsoft wanted me to run PC check software to see if the computer met the requirements to upgrade to Win10. I downloaded the PC check software and attempted to run it. "This app requires Win10 to run."

Any PC made in the last 9 years should run Windows 10.

Sweet! I did not know that existed. (I knew of Ubuntu, but not the studio bit.)

It was 3:36am here, and I was wondering why you actually bothered to download it. Carry on.
