Not useful for you. And that is your right, duty and responsibility as a user, and owner of the hardware.

But there are tens of thousands of human beings within a few km's/clicks of you, I am willing to bet, who will find a use for that computer.

A lot of valuable things can be done with 100w, should a user choose to apply it.

That's 100w per cpu.

eg this thing burns 200w continuously when on.

A raspberry pi 3b+ is likely around the same computing power, and burns a small fraction of it.

So, I really, really doubt it.

I could easily find 100 people who would find a use for your old computer. The effort is worth it.

If you're serious, feel free to email me (justin@postgresql.org) to make it happen. :)

Out of curiosity, what kind of things do you think people would use it for? Linux doesn't boot on it.
