A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

People don't trade in their old phones, as the prices companies offer are lower than the second market resale value

My last phone was the OnePlus 6T and they only accepted trade-ins for about five years. By the time I'm ready to trade it its value is so low that it's barely worth the cost of sending it to a recycling centre
