While cleaning, I found an old Redmi 12 phone that’s still in perfect condition. Anyone know what fun things I could do with it? Thinking about experimenting software wise, repurposing it for other things etc. Any ideas?

    I use mine as an always on syncthing node. After people on here told me last time that i was inviting death, i put it into a ceramic plant pot with a lid and set it on the balcony with a long charging cable. Its still in reach of my wifi so it works perfectly fine. If it burns, it burns outside with nothing flammable near it :)

    If you instead connect it to a portable solar charger + powerbank, you could even remove the grid connection and just put it in a sealed plastic box outside.
