   #DumpsterDiving can be quite amazing some days. It *is* possible to obtain high-quality stuff from ignorants who discard them.

         @rtsn two mint condition laptops, keyboard, gaming mouse, loudspeakers and even a cell phone. I will repair its screen for about $50.

               @rtsn yeah, but the laptops are a little old. Luckily, I'll use GNU/Linux instead of their stock Windows Vista so it will run great!

                     @grmpyoldman to respect the owners, I didn't. Wiped the drives straight away with a fresh Debian install with LUKS encryption @rtsn
