<87ac5c5a-8317-4a59-93e8-b12847edb64d@gmail.com> Message-ID: I've been an IT professional for 30 years and worked in electronics before that. I've recently decided to go semi-retired by starting an e-waste recycling hobby/business. I normally run Regolith on my workstations and Ubuntu on my servers. I'm equally split on the idea of creating automation to recycle e-waste and actually doing the work.
