My aunt’s got an old slightly broken laptop. She’s got a new one. No one has any need for this old one anymore. It has no selling value. Etc etc etc.
I know I can put an SSD in it and run it on Linux to make it run smoothly as a laptop for emails and word processing etc, but I already have a crap old laptop for exactly that.
What sort of fun things can you do with an old laptop? I’m talking like, using it as a whole new device. Maybe using it as a ‘TV Box’ of sorts - getting some radio apps, and hacked streaming apps… Or loading up a bunch of PS2 games on it… or having it as the jankiest personal assistant, with timers, and calendars, and all that.
You know what I mean.
I love pointless gadgetry.
You can get one of these things for like $15 or less on any number of websites; I feel like this is one of those edge cases where you want something pretty cheap, I don’t want to spend so much on accessories that I could have just bought better gear instead of trying to make what I had lying around work.
