  • In small scale old truck/semi batteries are pretty good energy storage solution. Not good enough for round the year use in transportation, but quite usefull in small scale energy storage. (I have a set of 10 attached to solar panels at summer cottage. Enough to run 12V lighting, fridge, fans and tv through the (short) night).

  • I still do monthly service checks to industrial computers that use win3.11, 2000 and unix from early 90's. When machines that costs even up to million to replace require legacy os, you scrounge up older hardware to run them as long as you can.

  • Many companies I work with either sell their old workstations for pittance to their employees after we have nuked the drives or donate them to projects that provide laptops to students or refugees who can't afford them.
    But many companies lease their hardware nowadays, so those end up to landfill or to companies that refurb them and sell them for profit.

  • Many operators around the word are ditching 3g but still keeping 2g.
    It is main/backup connection in so many iot and older automation devices that it won't be going away anytime soon.
    And yes, both my 2110 and 3310 I alternate in my cars glove compartment can still call emergency services number without sim card.

  • Most of the operators still keep their 2G networks active. There's simply too many iot devices that use 2G as a main or fallback comms to end old gsm network with only few years of warning. 3G on the other hand is going the way of the Dodo.
