A little bit of both. I generally like to mess with this kind of thing. Plus if I manage to save those 40-50€. It's money I can invest to buy a decent HDD. And move away from the WD green from 2009 I'm currently using in there.
Plus. If I do manage to find enough info. I may try to implement a rudimentary version of coffeetime. So at least the community has an open source variant to do this. Since especially with B0 chips like the one I'm trying to use. It's not that difficult of a process and is mostly drop in hardware wise. The only hiccup I've found is that the software side is lacking. Barring a sketchy binary that roams around some forums.
Aw thank you :-) But to be honest. I ain't that good at this. All I know is mostly from reading wikis and following work already done by others.
The real beasts are the ones that actually discover that this is possibile. Eg. The console modding community. (I'm still impressed at how dumb of a way they managed to mod the switch: it literally shorts the CPU to make it skip checks) or the guys at win-raid forums. Where I think the whole research about this upgrade being possibile started in the first place.
English isn't my first language. So I'm not sure if I managed to get my point across. But essentially I'm saying: in the sea there is always a bigger fish. And in this world you never finish learning. There will always be someone that knows more than us.
Also if you do have a lot of these machines... They really aren't bad ones. Win 10 ltsc runs like a dream on these. And linux is right at home on them. It's only really a bottleneck for me because I literally use my machine for fluid simulation for my studies. But even for games. An half height gpu like the RX 6400 gives you a decently stout pc. If you aren't aiming for full res upscaled AAA games. Hell. The steam deck has shown just how much we can do with more modest specs.
