Where was this knowledge when the Pi supply was low?

Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

      Which is incredibly gross. Stealing components from them is at least practical, but destroying them for funsies is equal parts childish and wasteful and not to mention dangerous. No one needs additional garbage to fish out of the water.

              They take up way less space than what’s allocated for cars. But because it appears different you’ll not notice that the car parking takes away so much space that could be allocated to e.g. a wider sidewalk, dedicated bike lines, more green, or parking for more space efficient methods of transport such as rental scooters.

                I’m against car parking on streets too, that doesn’t mean random companies should get to dump their product anywhere they want on the sidewalks.

      Yeah I saw a couple videos of people magnet fishing them out. The one amazingly still worked!
