If you ever wondered what the inside of your computer monitor looks like, here you go. I’m trying to get into micro-scrapping, so the PCB is the most interesting part to me. I think e-waste is still a huge issue, so I’m going to be trying to find some second hand stores that can’t sell their old electronics for good deals. Anyone have any other recommendations for the best way to acquire small amounts of high value e-waste that would be sent to a landfill in the Chicago area?

    This is a great example of one of the limitations of this system and why many people don’t bother posting or commenting.

      No, it’s a great example of it working. You posted a non-news post in a news-only community. The post getting taken down and you finding a more appropriate community to post in is the correct outcome. It’s not a slight against you or the post, it just doesn’t belong there.

          I mean… the Reddit Weed community is called “Trees”, and the Reddit Trees community is called “Marijuana Entusiasts”.

          You are never going to get a perfect distillation of a community by its name. You are always going to need to at least scan the rules to learn about a community.
