Think that old computer sitting in your drawer is useless?
Think again, buster because Google just announcedChrome OS Flex.
Google hopes itll also have a positive impact on reducing global eWaste.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Lets dive into it.
What do I need to run Chrome OS Flex?
But hopefully, as these machines get older, Google will add support for them.
There are a couple more caveats.
Plus, you might need to tinker with BIOS options if you cant boot directly from the USB drive.
Should you use it?
In other words, you might not want to install it as your primary operating system just yet.
Still thinking of giving the current version of Chrome OS Flex a spin?
Then youll need to sign up on the enterprise page.
By then, therell be compatibility for more devices and fewer bugs.
I love this idea.
Turning the dusty old machines laying around your house back into functional systems is an amazing project.
Good on you, Google.
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
