Great idea (NOT!):

It seems noble to give away the sh*t you don't want anymore and think it will be usefull for the less fortunate but in the end of the day the less fortunate also need a proper tool just as he/she needs an iPhone and a PC capable of running Windows 10. I've been down that road before when I wanted to give away an old PC. Next thing I know I was sitting in a tiny PC shop somewhere in Asia re-assembling the damn thing with a new motherboard etc wishing somebody donated a working AC to the shopping mall owner.

Why are you posting such idiotic crap in a thread about a DSO you've never owned, likely never used, and have no real experience with?

Why? Simple: read a few posts back and you'll notice someone disagrees with your opinion about how useful this scope is. Then people start whining about giving it away instead of putting it in storage until the end of time.

You're still talking out of your ass (i.e. being a troll); someone else's experience is not your own. I realize you have some deep-seated need to post 6 times a day here, but that still doesn't excuse posting crap you know nothing about.
I'm sorry you got burned, but the Rigol DS2000 is not - and never was - the Siglent SDS2000. Of course, you'd know that if you had bothered to watch the full 75-minute in-depth comparison review I posted the week before you made the foolish decision to buy that firmware-deficient DSO - but of course, as you wrote yourself, you lack the attention span to do that. Instead, you bought it anyway, then proceeded to complain continually (and still do to this day) about stuff I had clearly pointed out in the review.
Virtually anyone with any electronics experience and a need for a DSO would be happy to be gifted with a Rigol DS2000.

Sorry but you are starting to mix things here. I ordered the Siglent SDS2000 before you posted the video but it took a while to get delivered. However my biggest mistake with the SDS2000 was not buying it but keeping it while thinking Siglent would fix the firmware issues in the near future (they still haven't after 2 years BTW). And who is going to watch a 75 minute video while the same information can be put into a short text you can read in under a minute? Text is also easier to refer to later on than a bunch of timestamps for a video. Many vloggers would really benefit from a course in making informative videos and (for starters) use a script for their videos so the end result can be edited into a fast paced short film. Look at the videos from Keysight with Daniel Bogdanoff to see how it's done or any commercial if you want to take fast paced to the extreme while making sure to get the message across.
And don't claim I know nothing about the DS2000. It doesn't take hands-on experience to form an opinion; there are enough reviews and postings about it. At the end of 2015 I looked into both the DS2000 and DS4000 very carefully when looking for an extra scope but decided not to buy either of those due to firmware bugs and price/performance. I'm actually wondering what other scopes you have hands on experience with because your DS2000 seems to be like some sort of golden standard to you. Rigol isn't a soccer club.
