    While I’m absolutely for reusing old hardware and am doing it myself, keep in mind that the security landscape has changed. Old hardware might have security vulnerabilities which could be exploited by malware. Running an up to date OS is not enough to keep you secured.

      Any examples of computers with this problem? I can’t think of any. Old BIOS versions maybe but I don’t know of any examples that don’t require physical access to the device.
