eBay if:
It is still relatives new and still worth a lot.
If I have the feeling that someone else might find it useful.
Recycling:
If it had sensitive data on it and cleaning it up is not worth it at all like small and old hard drives or old and slow USB stick.
Gifting:
If I have the feeling that it would help. Like a laptop which is old but not too old for normal daily use. I will clean it, fix it and search for someone to gift it.
I do try to do something with those things fast as it only makes it less useful longer I wait.
It also annoys you when it is inconvenient like when you move and find all of the old stuff. Or you lost that space for ages and then you throw it out anyway.
Do you consider an automatic emergency break as less reliable than it helps?
Because we do have a lot of numbers on cars were there is a computer in-between. Which should indicate to me that it is safer to drive with one instead of without one.
Like just yesterday (I'm driving a new car) I thought about emergency breaking automatic vs. manual and I actually feel safer knowing that the car can potentially break faster.
In the brochure of my mother's potentially future car, it actually advertise emergency breaking with emergency steering to drive left or right. I also found that quite good to have as it should be able to determine much faster if it can evade and where to evade.
