Hey, only had time to watch the first 40 seconds. Thanks for the recycling advice!!

[SavioureG]

As someone who studied waste management it warms my heart to hear Linus and his team support sustainable disposal of waste and understand the dangers landfilling electronic wastes :)

u guys wear jeans and a T-shirt to a funeral? The disrespect is real... i bet if it was an Asus mobo, it would be a diff story.

[NeonYukon]

But the advice still stands.

"What's this, a Geforce Titan GTX Black? Oh, that's old. Better throw it out!"

[pdraggy]

lol came from the 1030 video shot in 2023... gone back to 2016, thanks Linus!

wtf luke? sandals with no socks? it's like asking for dirty feet.

I'm getting this comment in early as I hope people will read it. Many people in Australia would greatly appreciate an Australian Amazon affiliate code and possibly if maybe just Linus or anyone or even everyone from the Linus Media Group could come down under to Brisbane/Sydney and maybe do a talk and signing. I know this is unlikely but it would mean allot to me and a many other people in Australia. Just remember We love you all to!

Recycling X79 motherboards? I expected some really old hardware

[theguyordie]

Looks like i'll be redigging up my back yard...

[gradeaplanb]

no no no if a hard drive still works I'll still use it

[BigDippas]

I work for a company on the US east coast who take in electronic waste from mostly business and the occasional home users. it's good to see you spreading the same message we do. I'm also super into your Canadian system for doing what we do. thanks for the informative video, for both security and environmental reasons.

[halfcraftgamer]

The intro is incredible even all these years later

Side note about the sponsor: Fingerprints and your face should never be used as a Password. Ever. Both are public and can simply be photographed and then reproduced. Yes, even your Fingerprints. The Chaos Computer Club has done some phenomenal work in this area

Most Best Buys these days are recycling centers. They have some kind of e-cycle bin when you come in through the front door usually, or even ask someone working there. Everything from batteries to phones to computers can be recycled, too.

Reduce Reuse Recycle. Saves you money and keeps our world clean. Great video Linus and team.

[SevernFyre]

Can you UPDATE this video. And can you include the different ways in both Canada and the US.
