I have a moto g2 lying around for some years. I was wondering if there is anything I can use it for?

I don’t plan on inserting a SIM card on it and the battery capacity on it must have reduced quite a lot by now.

Can you suggest some ideas which can prevent it from becoming e-waste? (If it hasn’t already become e-waste)

    Any recommendations for using it as a PC stats monitor? That could be an interesting one for mounting near the PC!

    I think the displays may be too small for use as a photo frame or e-reader though (love the Kobo for this).

      A lot of people seem to use apps, one called ‘Remote System Monitor’ looks good, and then connect a charging cable to the pc to keep it charged.

      Personally I’d love if there is a way to do this not involving phone apps, but instead reducing the old phones capabilities to just a screen and having the pc recognise and use it as one. That could lead to some interesting possibilities.
