This Old Laptop II: Laptop Rehab Series – Dell Latittude D520, - SSD and Linux (Zorin)

This Old Laptop II: Laptop Rehab Series – II. Dell Latittude D520, SSD and Linux This is the second in a series of videos in which I will be trying to give old laptops a new lease on life... keeping them out of the clutches of "recyclers". This is the work on a Dell PP17L (D520), I will follow this with a video showing this laptop in use, using Zorin. The next one will concern a greater challenge: Toshiba 1805-s203 The following will include Gateway 4525gx (m320) Dell PP02X Inspiron 8600 Which order is to be determined. Why this series: I consider reducing e-waste to be a moral imperative. You can debate with others, of what sort of imperative. :) Thus, I am seeking to keep these laptops out of the "recycling" system. They range in age between 15 and 20 years, and I think each may still have years of quite serviceable life in them. I am, therefore, rehabbing them with Linux and a few small hardware upgrades. Footnote: I had mentioned the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The Key Concepts are: Categorical Imperatives, and Hypothetical Imperative. I summarized the former as "I should live in such a way that I could wish that everyone else would live the same way." More formally it is summarized: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law." . You can figure out how to learn more, I am sure. :) . ================== Intro/Outro Credit - From YouTube Audio Library ================== Hot Swing by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
