Four weeks until @microsoft ends free support for Windows 10, making 400 million PCs obsolete as they are unable to upgrade to Windows 11.
And - ironically - it's happening on #EWasteDay... just days before International #RepairDay.

With our new starter kit, soon available in English too, you can easily set up your own Linux Repair Café. This way, you'll help visitors make the switch to open-source software—and together we'll save countless laptops from the scrap heap.

"On 14 October, which just happens to be "International E-waste Day," Windows 10 will get its final free security patches."

From heretofore to be known as switch-to-linux day to avoid e-waste, stop paying software subscriptions, and regain digital sovereignty. Or it should be: what an opportunity for Europe.

Electronic waste is being generated 5 times faster than documented e-waste recycling. If no action is taken, the amount could hit 82 million tonnes in 2030.

E-Waste Day (Oct 14) Recycle today for a cleaner tomorrow! Dispose of e-waste responsibly to protect our environment. ♻️📱 #EWasteDay #RecycleResponsibly #GreenFuture #FORA #UOJ

Irish consumers generated 11 million kg of #electronic #waste last year - equivalent to 25 million items containing precious and valuable #metals.

This so-called "invisible e-waste" included electronic toys, vapes, cables, remote controls, and USB sticks. The recoverable raw materials contained within those items are worth an estimated $10 billion.

You can #recycle anything with a plug, battery or cable!

Der heutige 6. #ewasteday des WEEEForum und die Plan E Kampagne der StiftungEAR machen in diesem Jahr auf unsichtbaren #Elektroschrott aufmerksam und rufen zu korrektem #Recycling auf: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/presse/pressemitteilungen/unsichtbarer-elektroschrott-auch-moebel-kleidung

Diesjähriges Motto: „You can recycle anything with a plug, battery or cable!” - insbesondere "unsichtbare" bzw. "untypische" #Elektrogeräte" wie smarte Möbel, Kleidungsstücke oder Spielzeuge müssen noch häufiger ihren Weg zum richtigen #Recycling finden.

This 1985 #Atari ST Computer is Still Being Used Daily at a Campgroud.

An extreme example, but it is possible to make a computer and its programs last.
