To whomever this may concern and to get you a break from the international news:<\/p>
Your daily driver Windows computer is not obsolete after October 13th 2026. And above all it is NOT E-waste.<\/p>
Your Apple computer is not E-waste if Tim Cook says so.<\/p>
Chances are that even the beige DELL tower from 2003, which is currently holding the barn door open, is not obsolete.<\/p>
And if you have an old\/broken computer: please sell or donate it. If nothing else, someone can learn to solder working on it.<\/p>
Contact your local IT nerd for further questions. The one with an Atari or Amiga T-shirt. Someone you know will know one.<\/p>
You can also contact IT nerds here in the fediverse. Almost all of us are here. <\/p>
