YouTuber LGR felt 'numbness at how powerless I was' as his one-of-a-kind retro PC collection took a direct hit from hurricane Helene, but seeing most of the trove survive now has him eager to share it (www.pcgamer.com)

I recently volunteered at a community recycling drive where people could drop off old tvs and broken things. You would not believe the amount of valuable stuff people brought. An old lady had a box with an nes and about 15 games plus a PS1 and who knows what else. I asked her if she wanted to keep it as it's valuable, she said no. I left it in her trunk.

Next time I'm going to stand a block or so away with a sign asking for old computers and stuff, it's ridiculous how muxh valuable old tech gets thrown away.
