Why go and dig in sh!t? There are tons of valuable metals in the garbage. I still vote for the introduction of a gadget bank where people can dispose their used cell phones, tablets, etc. right next to the ones for glass and paper.

That's what the Worst Buy GeekDork Squad desk is for. They fund their recycling program by charging sheeple $20(?) to yank harddrives from their PCs; but there's nothing to stop the rest of us from just dumping a few boxes of pre-pillaged junk on their desk.
My soon to be delivered load (as soon as I get around to ripping apart a few things) will include my parents old pc, two dead laptops, a dead nas server, several 8 year old GPUs, a few 5V centric PSUs that've gotten old enough not to be worth packratting any longer, control boards from a few HDDs I dismantled, and other assorted debris.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's all fine, as long as they zero input on security.
Adobe are definitely one of the world leaders on layout, typography, and graphic design, so input their cannot really be bad.
