Morning all

overcast and a wee bit blawy here.
tried to fit a new <extra> SSD in my 10 month old dell, only to find the power lead to the drive has an unfinished connector*, and no other spare power leads are in evidence.
Bugger.
Now i'll find what...

[sadkingbilly]

i'll give up then, or become a tax dodger.

[sadkingbilly]

anyone know where to recycle computers? 3laptops, 1 desktop.
apart from binning them i mean.
i've tried three co's, but they want win11 compatible or £500 collection fee. FFS.
these wont run anything newer than win7.
i'm in east yorks, for my sins....

[sadkingbilly]

anything else?, another 2g 'phone? or another mobile co?

i had to retire a perfectly fine LG 3G which was thin, light and petite.
all the bloody 5G phones are monstrosities now.
i settled for a secondhand galaxy s22 which was the smallest i could find*.

*i won't...
