Sure!

  • Home assistant controls, defaulted to pages by the room they are in
  • Recipe display for Mealie. I can't have gluten, and we have some family recipes, so storing recipes that worked out well for us is a must
  • Repurposed as a kids tablet with some educational games and access to the media server
  • Family calendar for quick view
  • eBook and Comic reader
  • Replacement remote for a few devices (Bluetooth IR blaster added into the mix)
  • Baby monitor (rtsp camera in the room)
  • Test device for apps I make

Etc.

Usually the only thing needed for these devices is a replacement battery, generally pretty easy to do, just replaced the Nexus 10 battery recently. If it needs a screen or something, its not getting repaired unless its cheap.

Then its a custom ROM and tweak for what I plan on using it for, maybe kiosk it, depending on what its doing.
