Where do the obsolete computers go?

Many units use computers to work, and computers are equivalent to pen and paper, which has become a necessity for the work of employees in the unit, and some people cannot move an inch without the computer. However, computers have a lifespan, usually three years, and some five years. When the expiration date is reached, the computer will be phased out and replaced with a new one.

So, where did the eliminated computers go?

Computer hardware. And software updates are fast, and a batch of them will be replaced in less than three to five years. In fact, after the expiration date, many computers can still be used, and some are similar to the new ones, but the superiors sent new computers, and they can't keep the new computers and continue to use the old computers.

It is necessary to eliminate the old computers and replace them with new ones. "Elimination" is indeed a good word, and there are many doorways in it. From the point of view of economic laws, the rate of return on capital can only be promoted by the rapid rate of commodity renewal.

That is, the more extravagant and wasteful, the more it will have an impact on economic growth.

Advantageous. Computer software and hardware are designed according to this law, quickly eliminate old products, launch new products, and promote the upgrading of various units and individuals. Then, some of the new computers were directly brought to the home by the leaders, not to mention the old computers.

It's just that the number of old computers that have been eliminated is huge, and it is also a lot of income after they are sold. Then, the old computer will definitely be sold to a second-hand computer dealer with a relatively high price, and the income obtained will not be a secret, no one will know. So, is it okay to give the obsolete old computers to the employees?

No, that will not only expose the price of second-hand computers, but also make employees look down on the unit and leaders, and bring great trouble to the leaders. Is it okay to give it to children in poor mountainous areas? Not to mention that it would make people gossip about dumping e-waste in poor areas.

In fact, no matter what the reason, it can't hide the fact that an old computer is obsolete. After the obsolescence, I don't know where the cash flow from selling the old computer goes.

Installing new computers and eliminating old ones, some people's pockets are bulging in the process of getting in and out, and they want to get a new computer every day. The premise is that the old computers that have been eliminated are not cared for and no one cares about them——— except for the leaders themselves. What's more, they keep the information about the distribution of new computers secret, and ask employees to use old computers, and then steal and replace them, give away the new computers, or sell ......

Now some of the old computers eliminated by the unit may be acquired by some manufacturers, and then the important parts in them are removed and used in new computers or electronic devices, and other worthless things are basically disposed of as scrap.

Most of them are sold to scrap stations, and some useful accessories, such as memory modules, are sold to computer accessories dealers to form a computer with other accessories.

Sold to a maintenance company. The computers that we don't use in our unit are sold to those who repair them, and they are not worth much.

Computer obsolescence is relative. As long as it is not hardware damage, it is directly eliminated, and everything else is eliminated by the trend.

Take a computer as an example, in 2000, the popular configuration of the computer was the Pentium 4 processor, 128M memory, and 40G hard disk.

At this time, the system used was 98 and ME system, a few years later, the computer system became 2003, the software also changed from 100M to 300M size, and even QQ changed from 10M to 100M size, which put forward the minimum requirements for the configuration of the computer. At this time, this computer can still be installed with the system and barely access the Internet. As the saying goes, a small horse-drawn cart means just that.

Now the win7 system, this computer is simply impossible to look at. The hard disk is divided into the main partition of the system, and there is no space.

It's not that the computer configuration is low, but that the programs running on the computer have become larger and more demanding.

Then again, this computer is placed in the bank, which is a little better than the DOS machine configuration in some counters of the bank, and it can also be used in the bank for a few more years, and it is more than enough as the main control computer of the CNC machine tool.

The current computer configuration, in a few years may be due to the system or the software used to upgrade and change the configuration of the hardware, so when buying a computer, do not buy the highest configuration, medium or above, but to consider whether there is a reserved upgrade interface on the motherboard, since the elimination is inevitable, then we can only change the cycle of his elimination, give full play to its maximum efficiency.

The new system does not support the old hardware, the new hardware is not compatible with the old hardware, the new game needs a new graphics card, the new graphics card needs a new CPU, the new CPU needs a new motherboard and then the whole machine is replaced for you.

The processor is too slow to open some applications.

If the configuration is low, the program will be eliminated if it is running slowly.

Before the elimination, how can we, the rookies, do it ourselves without asking for help, and we can take the personal privacy in the computer.

What about a completely clean file? Yesterday, we specifically consulted some data recovery experts in Hangzhou. They offer several methods:

First, it is the method of deleting first and then saving. Before the computer is eliminated, delete the personal privacy files (such as family**), and then empty the **site**.

Copy some inconsequential files, such as a movie, and then copy them until the entire hard drive is full.

Until you don't go in. Fang Jinxin of Hangzhou Huitian Data Recovery Company said that if only the files are deleted, it is easy for computer experts to recover them.

Came back. Copying some new files into it will completely overwrite the files you deleted, and the possibility of recovery will be slim.

Second, it is low-level formatting. If your computer knowledge is okay, technical experts as well as hard drive repair experts in data recovery centers, built.

Try low-level formatting, after which the possibility of file recovery is basically zero. However, it should be reminded that the low-level grid.

Stylization is damaging to the hard drive.

Third, it is the physical destruction method. What if the computer doesn't turn on and you don't plan to fix it anymore, and the personal information in it hasn't been deleted?

Find a larger magnet, such as the one on the radio, and attach it to the hard drive, and in just a few minutes, the hard drive will be completely scrapped, and the possibility of data recovery will be almost zero. This is because hard drives, like credit cards, rely on magnetic media to store information, and once it encounters something strong, the information will become invalid.

What if I can't find the magnet? Then remove the hard disk from the case, open the hard disk with a screwdriver, take out the disc-like discs inside, and cut it with scissors.

In addition to computers, many people now also store some personal ** in digital cameras, camcorders, mobile phones, express reminders, like.

Digital cameras, even if you delete them, you can still easily restore them back with professional software, so don't.

Take some messy **, and don't throw the memory card around.

1. Keep it for backup.

2. Give it to a friend.

3. It is not too outdated to be able to sell at a low price**; No one wants the eliminated machine, but it can be disassembled and sold, and it can be sold at a good price.

4. When the scrap is sold to the computer ** station.
