    Idk… I’m a tad excited to buy one for peanuts on eBay in a couple years for a local smart home upgrade. Heck, when the bubble pops, maybe they can sell power from all those generators back to the city and lower our utility bills too. /S

      They might be useful for rendering, and I’d love to see how smoothly Teardown Game could run with all those cores.
