Now I have 3 HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF desktop computers with a 3.20GHz Intel i5-6500 CPU in them. None of them came with RAM or storage, technicians at work like to grab all the RAM and storage before they place old computers on the recycling pallet (those bastards!). I've put some RAM and storage I already had in one of them and I use it as a simple home server. DDR4 RAM and SSDs and even HDDs are so super expensive right now that it's hardly worth buying anything in order to turn the two others into working systems. I kind of regret dragging 3 of these home. It's a bad habit I have, I kind of look at something and say oh that's a perfectly good mostly working thing we're throwing away even though it's basically just old garbage. I do think it's sad that our species produce things like this, use it for a few years and just throw it away while it's still working because of some arbitrary corporate schedule. The i5-6500 is still more than good enough to do web browsing and typical things people do on computers (demanding things like playing the latest games or video editing will of course be slow). #garbage #technology #computers #ram
