<p style="text-align: left">Last Sunday, I was downstairs in the basement of my apartment building, where I stumbled across two laptops. Both looked fairly old, and upon closer inspection later, were from 2012-2013.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">I decided to take them with me just to tinker around with them and see if anything was wrong with them.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">The HP machine was in pretty good condition, so I decided to take a look at that one first. I went ahead and inserted a USB with Linux Mint on it, and booted the machine up.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">I then went ahead and mounted the internal drive, and to my surprise, it was not wiped.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">I was able to go through the documents and downloads folder of the previous owner, and oh boy, was there a LOT of personal data on it.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">Documents such as passport applications, scans of drivers licenses, bank statements, and more could be found RIGHT THERE on the drive. I was in awe at how someone could just toss a machine out like this.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">The previous owner didn't even bother taking out the hard drive, even though it could have been taken out by removing two screws on the bottom of the machine.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">I was planning on contacting the previous owner about their very stupid mistake, but by the time I tried to access the data on the drive again, the drive started failing on me and giving me a bunch of input/output errors, so I wasn't able to.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">The Dell machine on the other hand, was in poor condition, and looked like it was used by a child judging by the stickers on the machine.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p style="text-align: left">When I tried to look through it's internal drive, it was already dead, so there's that.</p>

<p style="text-align: left">I will be buying a dell optiplex 3040 or 3050 in the SFF form factor, and an intel gigabit PCIe network card with 2 or 4 RJ45 jacks. These SFF optiplex systems only accept half height cards of course, so i'll have to swap out the bracket for a half height one if it is not already present on the card that I purchase. Intel gigabit PCIe cards work the best in OPNsense, and this is the setup that is typically seen in use with home OPNsense boxes.</p>
