minus-squarebillwashere@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·3 months agoOh I get it. I hate to see hardware that could be useful being thrown out. Hence the reason I have stacks of 1TB hard drives with no real use. I have a long term goal of running my home automation system on that commodore for no other reason than it’s weird. So I get it.
