Anyone planning hosting business using old Mobiles?
it was fun to see there's a hosting using RPIs.. many old mobiles are way more powerful than RPIs and competitively so with many an older and even mid-tier xeon (1 cpu VS 1 cpu). anyone here working on such a project? could just put up a rack right at home..
probably don't even need to invest in mobiles, - everyone's easily got a dozen or so stashed in the desk somewhere.. i personally think it's a waste to get measly $40 discount on new phone by trading in the previous model that's still working great and has a scratch somewhere or whatnot..
