Hi, everyone!

I have an old ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 laying around getting some dust, and have no idea what interesting things could be done with/to it. Well, its display is broken and it’s impossible to use it conventionally due to ghost touch, but a fix for this is to mirror its screen onto my computer using scrcpy.

I searched the web to find some ideas on which uses I could give to it, but none sounded good. I was thinking about turning it into a self-hosted file storage or something of the like. Is it possible to do so on with a phone? I’d love to hear from you guys about this or any other suggestion you have!

    Hi, guys,

    I apologize for not answering everyone, but all the ideas you all gave me (apart from sliding it into a body of water, loool) were amazing. I’ll probably not stop doing experiments with this phone even if I’m able to do what I first aimed to (the self-hosted storage), which will give me the chance to try out some of your suggestions. Truly appreciation for all the cool, interesting things you all came up with. Bless!
