if everyone is confessing: Back in my first year in Uni, I and buddy stole a cpu and monitor from storage, not from computer lab, just from storage which was scheduled to get replaced. It was a HP business desktop set from 2009. Fairly spec'd
Buddy wanted a second monitor and I wanted to host some fun sfw websites on lan. Some years later, it now works as my home server with some cheap upgrades.
Oh I also nicked stuff from e-waste dumps: psu's, routers, switchs, electronic trinkets from the labs(I asked lab attendants and they said they don't care)
My uni didn't allow us to use the labs in our free time, and I learned a lot!
Taking from e-waste dump isn’t a crime it’s quite the opposite. If you can make use of it instead of it poisoning the ground, kudos!
crimes don't care about "ethics"
Of course they do, otherwise they wouldn't be crimes.
