One reason I want to create an @agregore OS based on Chrome OS is that there's loads of #ChromeBook e-waste that could be repurposed into #p2p #meshnetwork nodes.
They're probably cheaper to get a hold of than other computers since there's so many being flooded as schools buy and get rid of them.
Adding p2p mesh stuff and de-googling them somewhat would be useful to bring utility to folks with less means or in situations where always-on internet just isn't viable.
