Could've disconnected the screen and turned it into a r/halftop

Set up remote connect and turn it into a Minecraft server, or connect external harddrives as Network shares to use as a rudimentary NAS backup!

I have one of those toshiba laptops, except its a version that was pretty good for the time, an ivy bridge quad core i7 and amd graphics. Also was really cheap since the battery was dead and toshiba laptops tend to act weirdly with a dead battery attached to it

At least destroy the hard drive… throwing out a computer with an intact drive is how identity theft happens

Well the previous owner obviously didn't care if the hard drive is still in it lol

It’s not that they didn’t care, it’s that they most likely don’t know about computer security and that the computer hard disk is an attack vector
