As someone who really needs a laptop but is broke because of cancer, I am very jealous.
You can always use it as something like a Pi-Hole if youre fine with leaving it on at all times. Probably overkill for a Pi-Hole, though. Anyway nearly any PC can be turned into some kind of network appliance.
Hope you find a good use for it!
DM me, while it won't be this laptop, I have a few others I got from work before they had a proper recycle program that still work fine. Nothing fancy but I couldn't let my former boss toss them.
Dang, such a generous offer! Any laptop is better than no laptop! Thank you for your kindness!
No problem! Technology should be used, most of what is thrown away isnt even close to done. We can and should do better.
