None of the laptops was brought to landfill, I still have them at home, which is why I could photograph them all.

The malfunctioning charger was not the only problem. The Apple laptop had also gotten extremely slow. Because I was not aware of Linux (this is 15 years ago), I made the mistake of thinking that I needed a new laptop.

This is the whole problem: many people are not aware of Linux and its advantages, and thus keep falling in the trap that the hardware and software industries have set up for them.
