I’m an incoming assistant professor in computer science at Loyola University Chicago. I study electronic waste and how to build computing tools to improve processes of reducing reusing and recycling computing material
oh this was me when I was a kid! I've put together tons of old PCs, servers, and network equipment from the 1990-2000 window (since I acquired a lot of forgotten junk in 2015 or so, and that stuff was comparatively "ancient" by then)... and have even managed to assemble a DEC PDP-11/20 minicomputer, IBM System/390 mainframe, and other non-computing devices by doing the same thing!
I am legitimately blown away with how far in life I've gotten on a zero-dollar budget, and I am convinced that you don't have to spend a dime to build a digital empire

Loyola is in a great part of the city! Congratulations on the professorship.
Check out the River & Roads coffee shop on Devon, just west of campus.

@xjasminelu welcome
You should definitely connect with @martin who is a maker dealing with old computers refurbishment and @coralie who is a researcher working on the same topic, on infrastructure and the cost of extracting materials.
@adelfaure if you like low tech art Adel is a talented ASCII artistI am sure they will be able to recommend other interesting people!

@xjasminelu there’s a person on here who has managed to solder wire onto ceramic pots. It’s brilliant.

@MLE_online has some fascinating information about experimenting with copper glaze to solder wire onto pottery. They seem to have invented a very successful method, I think you will enjoy the read.

Hi @xjasminelu! #Welcome to the community!

@xjasminelu you study electronic waste? I was not aware that's a thing you could study.
Perhaps I need to revisit my approach on what I want to do with my life.
Anyways.
Welcome to mastodon.
Glad to have you here!If you are looking for cool people to follow @alice is a great start. She is the GOAT
@nihilistic_capybara aww, thank you 🥰 (I'm still #NotAGirl though

@xjasminelu Hi welcome! I would like you to know one of our fellow fedizens: @wim_v12e
He reads compsci at Glasgow University
https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/staff/wimvanderbauwhede :
Low carbon and sustainable computing
https://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wim/low-carbon-computing/
Compilers and runtimes for FPGAs, GPUs and manycore systems
Novel type systems for scientific computing, specifically for heterogeneous systems
Novel type systems for embedded systems design
Acceleration of simulation of quantum computing
Additionally, he's just and interesting person all around.
I know it can be hard to connect with 'your peeps' when first joining fedi; I hope this helps!
p.s. I am not in either of your leagues. Just providing an introduction.
