        People do give away perfectly usable computers when they buy new ones. You have no idea if that person bought, found, stole, borrowed or was gifted a device.

          I am not getting involved in the discussion around “boycotting capitalism”, but you can definitely find pretty solid options for smartphones and computers (desktops, desktop components, laptops) if you go second hand. This is true of almost any country in the world (in some places with lower salaries, 2nd hand will still be somewhat expensive, but I digress).
