At least in the enterprise sector, you’re absolutely right. My company’s already got a massive list of all of the PCs that need to be discarded due to Win10 EOL. It freakin sucks because they’re very powerful PCs, but the damn lack of a TPM2.0 chip means they are basically garbage for our uses. And they don’t let employees take anything home :/ what a waste of
You should ask them again. Most companies just fear the ways the storage drive could be restored. Maybe they gave them away without the storage.
A couple of years ago we gave old core2duo out for free. I prepared them with dd’ing only /dev/zero over the storage. Should be enough, but replacing would be better.
lol, I wish. Luckily I have plenty of computing power at home already! But unfortunately we’re definitely not allowed to take anything - have asked a number of times :/ has nothing to do with storage and everything to do with capital BS

Maybe they could make an exception to the take home thing in this instant.
I would expect them to keep hard drives, but what’s the point of trashing those computers?
Maybe you can convince them to sell them, but maybe your company is too big to care about that stuff.
You hit the nail on the head with that last sentence - too big to give a f**k. Gotta love the big corpos.
