1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:41,270
oh W oh

2
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:49,480
so have you got some old electronics lying around and not sure about the

3
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,559
proper way to dispose of them here's your first hint as much as you may or

4
00:00:51,680 --> 00:01:07,119
may not have enjoyed that silly little bit that we did there that was not it

5
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,280
the Logitech g303 features a lightweight design an advanced Optical sensor with

6
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,960
Delta zero technology for precise tracking and RGB lighting to match your

7
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:22,400
setup check out the link in the video description to learn more now it's no

8
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:28,400
great secret that to reduce your consumption or reuse that which has

9
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:33,799
already been consumed is better in terms of ecological impact than and recycling

10
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,920
it but sometimes it happens that you might have an unfortunate run of bad

11
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,920
luck that causes oh I don't know three motherboards in a row to spontaneously

12
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,759
die through no fault of your own or here's another scenario you've got

13
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:52,200
devices that technically still work but have come to the point where absolutely

14
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:57,079
no one not even your weird Uncle who keeps milk crates of electronics in his

15
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,520
garage is willing to use them so the

16
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:05,520
first question I usually get is why can't I just put my old CRT TV or

17
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,280
motherboard or hard drive in the garbage

18
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:14,120
and the answer is that while you actually technically can because most

19
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,840
garbage collection Services frankly don't have the time or willingness to

20
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,720
dig through your trash bin to see what you put in there there are a lot of good

21
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,200
reasons why you shouldn't number one is

22
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:32,200
that it keeps chemicals and heavy metals managed correctly E-Waste can contain

23
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,840
mercury lead cadmium arsenic lithium and

24
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:41,120
a wide variety of other harmful or dangerous substances number two is that

25
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:47,080
precious materials such as aluminum from casings Copper from wiring or even gold

26
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:51,560
from contact points can be recovered through the disassembly of old

27
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,360
electronics this lessens the need for harvesting new raw materials from the

28
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,800
finite supply of resources that is our planet Earth and number three even if

29
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,680
you're not a tree hugger or whatever this should matter to you if you're a

30
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,319
taxpayer is that it keeps these items out of landfills which means landfill

31
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,120
spaces conserved lowering the cost of your local waste disposal services and

32
00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:18,560
in the long term even the cost associated with things like increased

33
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,799
water filtration if any of these Metals end up in the water supply so then okay

34
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,560
that sounds great lonus why aren't people doing this then great question

35
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,720
and the answer is pretty simple it's timec consuming and tedious work to

36
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:38,000
safely disassemble these products to the point where they can be reused in place

37
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,799
of raw materials which means it's actually quite expensive to do so here

38
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,000
in BC Canada we have what's called an environmental handling fee that gets

39
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,879
charged on items that can be returned for free Recycling and while there's

40
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:57,159
plenty of debate to be had about a mandatory fee at the time of purchase on

41
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,560
all items I'll leave that to the philosophers but it's quite possible

42
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:06,720
your region has a similar program that you can take advantage of and even if it

43
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:11,560
doesn't you may discover some random and unexpected ways to dispose of this stuff

44
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:17,079
as well Bottle Depot for example in my area are the return point for most

45
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:19,160
E-Waste and Ikea of all places has their

46
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:24,520
own instore drop off for household battery and light bulb recycling go

47
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:30,039
figure and if your area doesn't have anything like this there are services

48
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,720
like think recycle.com that do charge

49
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:36,840
for the items that they can't get any value out of but can actually pay a

50
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:41,039
bounty for some other items and they'll do things like refurbished toner

51
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:47,759
cartridges and they'll accept and even pay by the pound for phones iPads and

52
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,960
laptops even if they're completely nonfunctional all you have to do is put

53
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:56,800
at least 15 items in a box and ship it off to them if you have enough of the

54
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,280
acceptable items versus complete junk they're even willing to provide you with

55
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:05,000
a free shipping label but wait if this video has inspired you

56
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,080
to run out and responsibly dispose of your electronic waste there are a couple

57
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:14,160
of things you should do first number one see if it still works hey we've got a

58
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,759
local program called freegeek that is willing to take a lot of old computer

59
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,680
and electronic stuff and distribute it to people and organizations that need it

60
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:28,440
like I said at the beginning reuse is better than Recycling and number two

61
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:34,479
while you're at it thoroughly wipe any personal data off of your devices before

62
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,680
recycling them while most people don't

63
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:41,520
even want to see that selfie sex tape you made that night after graduation or

64
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:47,039
whatever anyone who does want to see it you probably don't want them seeing it

65
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:52,639
so do your do diligence and on the subject of digital

66
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:54,400
security it's fairly common knowledge

67
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:58,960
among the techsavvy that even in a perfect world text-based passwords

68
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,639
without additional authentication factors are just not very secure and

69
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,080
there are a lot of companies out there trying a lot of different things to

70
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:11,800
improve this which leads us to today's episode sponsor true Key by Intel

71
00:06:09,599 --> 00:06:16,080
security it's a password manager that removes the hassle of passwords across

72
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:22,360
all of your devices computers phones and tablets with support for Windows with

73
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:24,240
chrome and ie support iOS and Android

74
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:30,120
you can log into Apps and websites with your face fingerprint or by swiping a

75
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:32,919
notification on your personal smartphone

76
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:38,160
and it always knows that you're you with multiactor authentication only a

77
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:42,039
combination of being on a trusted device passing facial recognition and or

78
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:47,080
swiping a notification on your smartphone can unlock your passwords and

79
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,840
you can add extra factors to passwords you'd like to really lock down or a

80
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:55,440
fewer for websites that you'd like to access faster and that don't hold any

81
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:59,080
valuable information your try account syncs across all of your devices so be

82
