Maybe countries need to seriously consider stockpiling old hardware. Rather than sending ewaste to Southeast Asia for “recycling”, old laptops and smartphones could be the only things usable in a future fractured world.
They can just buy new hardware from China.
Until China decides they don't want to sell to them that is.
I got three old laptops flying around, I’m prepared for the golden future of dialup EU internet.
Plus old nokia and ericisson phones! Need some rotary phones to be really safe. /s
