Moreover, you should think of something about phones and tablets with healthy hardware but outdated software. So many companies especially in China stop the software updates/upgrades after like 2-3 years. And moreover, they also make it too hard for the #FOSS communities to come up with alternative operating system for these devices.
Some companies lock the device to prevent installing custom OS.
Some other violate #GPL and they don't release the #Linux source code for their devices.
Some release the GPL code with a 1 year delay. Which means FOSS community is 1 year behind to bring custom OS to the device.
All of these contribute to #ewaste and they harm the planet. And many people are forced to buy a new phone/tablet every 1-3 years to get a newer Android version.

DRAM contract prices roughly doubled in Q1 2026, and resale values on used server RAM and SSDs followed. If you're holding decommissioned hardware, an accurate price beats a stale quote — and the window near cycle highs won't stay open forever. Here's what surplus gear is worth now:

"In a detailed report released last week, titled The Urgent Case Against Data Centers, #FWW pointed to some of the 'documented harms caused by AI and data centers,' including:
- Enormous #energy footprints: A single hyperscale data center can consume as much energy as 2 million US households.
- A lifeline for #FossilFuels: The thirst for fuel is being met by keeping old #coal-fired power plants running and by building new natural gas ones. [And restarting old #NuclearPlants]
- Skyrocketing electricity costs: Increased #EnergyDemand can raise residential rates, which soared 31% from 2020 to 2025 (compared to 4% from 2015 to 2020).
- Drained water resources: By 2028, AI data centers could use as much water as 18.5 million households, just for cooling their servers.
- An investment bubble: A handful of companies are investing in one another and increasingly turning to risky debt structures to hide the threat of the bubble.
- A litany of other harms: This includes massive amounts of electronic waste (#EWaste), unrelenting noise pollution, loss of #farmland, political instability from deepfake videos, lost revenue from data center tax incentives, and child endangerment from #AI #chatbots."

We had an event last night at a low income housing community here in Olympia. We brought some Nixbooks, gave them away and showed people how to use them.
These people are NOT technical and still all said that Nixbook was far easier to use than any other computer they had used in the past.
All these laptops were headed for the scrapyard, but now thanks to Linux are out there changing peoples lives. :)
