Yeah, the current implementation of activation lock does not brick 100% of the laptop.
But nevertheless, since the video is about locked Macs being scrapped, the value of the parts must be pretty low.

I assume that the environmental impact of stolen Macs being scrapped is going to get lower and lower as thieves realise locked Macbooks have a low resale value.

I mean, screens, ram, hard drives etc are worth whatever they are worth. > I assume that the environmental impact of stolen Macs being scrapped is going to get lower and lower as thieves realise locked Macbooks have a low resale value. When they steal they don't often know what type of machine they are stealing as they can't see in bags. The suggestion I made is better for the environment without making things better for thieves.
