      Sure!

      • Home assistant controls, defaulted to pages by the room they are in
      • Recipe display for Mealie. I can’t have gluten, and we have some family recipes, so storing recipes that worked out well for us is a must
      • Repurposed as a kids tablet with some educational games and access to the media server
      • Family calendar for quick view
      • eBook and Comic reader
      • Replacement remote for a few devices (Bluetooth IR blaster added into the mix)
      • Baby monitor (rtsp camera in the room)
      • Test device for apps I make

      Etc.

      Usually the only thing needed for these devices is a replacement battery, generally pretty easy to do, just replaced the Nexus 10 battery recently. If it needs a screen or something, its not getting repaired unless its cheap.

      Then its a custom ROM and tweak for what I plan on using it for, maybe kiosk it, depending on what its doing.

        Those are some nice use cases and very cool that you’ve set that all up while breathing new life into old hardware. Thanks for taking the time, happy holidays.
