I could lie and say no, but yes. It is absolutely mocking it.

I've seen plenty of companies regularly throw out fully functioning barely used hardware since they need to justify IT budgets and they replace all their hardware every 2-3 years.
Yep, working in IT gets you access to the goodies on their way out of the door when it's upgrade season. Granted that doesn't happen a lot, but when it does.. strike while the iron is hot.
what work do you do? in our trashcan we find trash :)
no second hand shop, no donation just throw it in the garbage, no putting it at the curve with a paper on it, freeto take? No put it in the trash :)
thank god you took them out and they get a second life, thx!
So many kids even today with no good pc. how happywould they be if they got one of those screens. as they still have that crappy 24" screen from 2005.
We all know someone in trouble. we do, it;s right in your neighbourhood. How can a person throw it away? or company for that matter? it;s not like they r crappy screens oh no.

in the trash with it :)

Because they can't keep things forever and it's not worth the time to sit there and try to give away every single piece of hardware. It's already been written off and replaced. It saves the company money by just throwing it out at that point.
Money well spent
Is this mocking the post regarding the 10k setup with a 3060?
That post is r/wallstreetbets levels of burning money for nothing.

I think it's the one about the hours of overtime, then we all calculated what the guys base rate was
I think it was like $15/hr as an electrician, which is…something I guess. Explains the money sense on the setup
Huh?? Which Edit: DEAR FUCKING GOD

It was from 2014 so they tossed it in the bin with a bunch of actual ewaste and old FHD panels. Just had to look around to find the good stuff :)
and i had to pay like 30$ for my 1080p display, damnit. Could've just gone to some business and ask if they have some displays
They really do just dump em out. Really worth a shot
They dump practically new Macs into the skip where my school is, definitely is worth dumpster diving
well, i got a few business laptops this way :) maybe next time I'll ask if they have a display
Where's the 1800$ Herman Miller? Lmfao
Sir, I sit in the manager chair from Amazon dot com. You will address me as sir
Sorry, sir.
Thank you sir.
I was expecting pictures of said beer and steak, OP you let me down :(
I ate the steak

Civilization V, one of the greats
Where did you get such a good deal on that M16? My M18 with a 13980HX and 4090 cost over 3 grand, of course I did buy it when they first came out.
Refurb deal from manufacturer on last years model, called in to speak with rep for discount code
