RE: The mysterious and complicated tale about building a computer 🖥 from used parts

This is super interesting. Was talking to a mate that other day about this. The main point of our conversation was how difficult it is now vs say 20 years ago.. where parts were easily re-appropriated from other electrical devices to build something new.

VS now say - the mobile phone, or even a laptop. Apple solders everything to the dam board not to mention new chips being proprietary for example.
