Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)
I don’t know how useful 32 bit old computers are, if they run cryptography software they aren’t completely useless
Mine are all “modern” ones, I think even the old E8300 was 64 bits and that one I left a loong time ago. Do you keep all your computers?
All the ones that run and a couple that don’t. Some are in my mom’s basement though
Any idea what you want to use them for, or is it “just in case”?
At minimum they can be crypto terminals or distraction free writing/eBook reading machines. But mostly just in case it’s all we have left to use.
