[kwlug-disc] FOSS Hardware Freebies

[Paul Gallaway]

I'm primarily a lurker on the list so even though I'm not well known to the
list, hopefully this isn't seen as blatant spam. I have some hardware that
is no longer useful to me but might be useful to someone in the community.
Contact me off-list if this is you or if you have questions. Only
requirement is contactless porch pick-up in northeast Waterloo.

1) TP Link WD4300 OpenWRT is installed but is a few versions behind, I'm
not sure if it's still supported by current releaes. Is behind because it
was at my parent's a few hours away when I installed it pre-pandemic not
realizing I wouldn't easily access physically to maintain it after late
2019 for two years.

2) ThinkPad T510. Assume it's for parts or project for someone
enterprising. Disassembled in an open box, screws in a bag.  I didn't strip
it bare, but major components have been pulled out. No ssd/hdd will be
included. Two months ago had fan error at startup. Blew dust out and ran
another month and a half. Fan error returned and blowing it was not
sufficient. Might be the fan / fan assembly, might be a fuse on the main
board. I got it apart only to realize I don't have the patience for testing
trying to locate and assess SMD components before ordering a fan or fuse
parta. I can find new and 'refurbished' parts but since they ship from
China probably not going to arrive until March and kids may or may not
still be schooling online. Shortly after realize it's not how I want to
spend the rest of my week off.
