Because companies make more money with single use items and demolition. End it now!

I've made a DIY Framework Wi-Fi expansion card from scrap electronics! :neobot:

The Wi-Fi board was scavanged from an old and long dead tablet. After desoldering, testing it and noticing that it was connected internally via USB 2.0, I've hooked it to an USB-C breakout board, fitted it together with its antenna in a 3D printed expansion card case, secured everything together and... it works!

I don't have an actual use for it right now as my Framework already has a working newer internal Wi-Fi interface, but it might be useful sometime in the future... and nevertheless, making something work out of components that would otherwise just be headed to a landfill always puts a smile on my face! :neobot_flop:

(BTW the lid has also been made by cutting a sheet of scrap polarizer taken from a dead laptop screen down to size. I did it simply because it was something easy to cut and would do the job just fine, but it also ended up looking rather cool in person! )

Do you know how much plastic you use in an average week? When we take the time to actually record it, it can be an eye opener that leads to behavioural change.

You can sign up for the UK’s Big Plastic Count 9-15th March 2026 from the link below.

The cumulative data from the campaign is used to put pressure on the Government to act to reduce plastic use in the UK.
