“but they also scored two 32GB DDR4 RAM modules”
They were DDR4?!?
So they salvaged 2-5 PCs?
So the economy is going so great we need to revert to 3rd World style landfill scouring.
if the dumpster diving economy craters I’m going to have a genuine crashout
*checks local ewaste site*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ffs, you’re telling me I could regurgitate reddit posts back online somewhere else and could be making a whole ass income from it?
I just pulled a 24 CPU gaming rig from the trash with a ton of RAM and significant GPU. Previous owner clearly tossed it because the liquid cooling package failed.
It will be 100 USD or more to put in a new cooling system, but will be a fine machine when done.
It’s kind of neat how computers built in the last decade or so are capable of lasting decades of use cases.
There was a time before the 2000s when a 3-4 year-old machine was literal junk and couldn’t even be used to browse the Internet effectively
In some countries, there’s even entire businesses built around [repairing and aftermarket modding GPUs](https://youtu.be/jA4Bhw1S_2o?si=76NT9g-hlHGKdBKn), stuff you won’t find in the US.
I wonder the value of the labor performed to uncover a find like that
Then there me with the 4GB stick of SODIMM DDR3 I pulled out of my laptop before getting rid of it 10 years ago
So he found one stick?
