My parents have an old Compaq Presario SR1950NX that works perfectly fine, but hasn’t been used in at least 15 years. Obviously I can’t connect it to the internet with Windows XP, but before I recycle it I thought I’d see if anyone had any cool ideas for how I could use it. I’m sure I could find Linux distro that would work, but I don’t really need another desktop PC in the house.
I actually do have a pretty massive local archive, mostly acquired back in the late 2000s through mid 2010s when I worked doing data backups and recovery. Key word being local, Nintendo can sugma..
