[kwlug-disc] donating hardwares for hobbyists or highschool tech classes

[kyoung]

Good point. Here is the list.

laptops:
- t410 g1 (no battery pack)
- t480 g7? (need usb keyboard and mouse as something went wrong with
controller) + two battery packs
- X1 Carbon g3
- macbook pro air 2016
- powerbook g4
- two generic x86_64 laptops (one from samsung and one from lenovo not
sure about models)

SBCs:
- Zaurus SL-C3000
- USL-5P
(both runs old unsupported version of openbsd)
- pine64
- Banana Pi M1 A20

GPU:
- gtx 1650 4GB

If nobody wants them I will just drop them off at university's e-waste
collection but I always feel bad when I try to imagine how many
functioning computers I will be able to find in landfill...
