Yesterday was International E‑Waste Day! It was also the end of Life for Windows 10, rendering millions of PCs seemingly obsolete. Yet, the hardware isn't outdated. Let's make sure that people know that there are open‑source alternatives.

Today, @microsoft.com ends support for Windows 10. Coincidentally, it's also International #EwasteDay
Ironic? Absolutely. This move could send over 200 million PCs straight to the landfill. But we don't have to trash them.
There's an alternative👇

🌍♻️ #InternationalEWasteDay (Oct 14): Reduce waste, reuse resources, protect our planet. PAA kept 20,000 lbs of surplus vet supplies out of landfills in 2024—including monitors, anesthesia machines, and other powered equipment. Have a working laptop or digital camera (with charger)? DM to donate. 💙
🔌♻️It's International E-Waste Day!

Photo shows a handful of electrical cables. Text says: What are these cables even for? Recycle your electricals.
Are you hoarding broken cables in a drawer of doom? Set them free this #InternationalEWasteDay!
Old cables contain precious copper that can be reused in new tech, transport, and clean energy.
Recycle them at your local Household Waste and Recycling Centre.
I think Microsoft misunderstood the assignment #InternationalEwasteDay 🙃

ICYMI: a thread for #InternationalEWasteDay
The initiative U2P provides off grid energy systems. They solve one of the biggest challenges of electric vehicle / electric cars batteries: their lifecycle after their time in cars: they get upcycled into new systems with a lifespan of up to 10 years helping to ease times and safing lifes during blackouts in hospitals, schools and kindergardens.
#Today is #InternationalEWasteDay
WE support an initiative saving lifes since years & making times during #blackouts safer: U2P is a #circulareconomy initiative providing #offgrid energy #solutions MADE from old EV batteries.

Today is #InternationalEWasteDay, which encourages the recycling of old electronics.

... and other countries have similar rules, so it's very likely there will be something, somewhere. Look out for markings on the electronics themselves, and/or on their packaging.
And spread the word, because as always, the biggest battle is awareness....
