From Monday to Tuesday I was working for “Tech Matic” again.
our task was to disassemble an infinite number of desktop-pcs and sorted the hardware after hard drive, motherboard, power supply, fan and case. At first it was fun, but after you do it over and over again it gets boring. Best thing that
happened there was our Russian coworker. When something wouldn’t come off, he just smashed in there. It was hilarious.
It’s interesting how much a trash-pc is worth. The worth of the single parts doesn’t matter. The mass makes the prize. The gold gets extracted from the cpus and is sold for more than 900 € per kilogram. Furthermore Joe gets a lot of hard drives which have to be destroyed. Many banks want their sensible data made unreadable. The easiest way to accomplish this is to chop them.

Joe once showed us, how the machine chops the hard disks. Glowing sparks came out of the machine. The time was okay and you could see what happens to old pcs when we don’t need them anymore.
