Hey guys, I have a thin client sitting in my closet. Any suggestions on what I can do with it? - eviltoast

I’m not going to network anything. It needs to be flashed or whatever to reset it. Can it be used as a storage device, or maybe an emulator box? I’m clueless over here. Any advice and suggestions would be great. Thanks!

    I’ve got a wyse 3040 with Ubuntu 22.04 lts running 24/7 just running pihole to block network adverts.

    Then a wyse 5070 with a 256gb m2 ssd using windows 10 for my plex server and transferring files from my seedbox

    Both work great with zero issues. Both in the frontroom and as no fans in them totally silent.

    I was tempted to use one for emulation but don’t really need anything my current rasp pi 4 can do.
