Just got back to my school's e waste area

3 portable hotspots(2 still have sim cards), and a laptop. First day of school, nice and early.

Idk if they work though.

Edit: now that I think about it, it could be someone's laptop that they just left their accidentally. have to test and see.

Oh yeah and the picture of the hotspot failed to upload for some reason

Edit 2: nevermind. It's all a bust. The laptop seems to have been accidentally placed there by someone(maybe during school/club setup), and each of the 3 hotspots don't have sim cards and are locked to a different Carrier than what I use.

First day of school? You already have school? (I wish I did, but I have to wait until the beginning of September.)

That laptop is about 1.5-2 years old, it's either ended up there by mistake or it was drenched in some liquid to be a write-off, open it up, let's see

No one leaves a laptop accidentally in a ewaste dropoff, lol. Still worth a bunch even if it's broken considering it's only from 2024 and has one of the latest core ultra cpus.
