That is pretty cool, nice to see some arts craft as one result of returns. I am also pretty sure they probably extract the gold and other precious metals, or farm it out to China and have them do the hard work.

At first I thought you were going to show a XKCD joke I thought this one is funny about computers. I found it to be computer neutral.

Yeah AFAIK this is what usually happens. Shipped to some poor ass African country in crates marked as "recycling" with a check for whatever mob is in power at the moment. In reality just dumped then picked over and melted down by the locals.
