Is repurposing old compute hardware for useful work mostly wishful thinking
millions of machines exist because one incentive made sense at one point. then the environment changes and suddenly
we've got massive idle or underused compute everywhereit seems obvious to ask whether some of that can be redirected toward something socially useful, but the execution gap
looks huge
is this actually a plausible direction over the next few years or mostly a good story people like to tell #technology
