    Yeah, I tend to do a bench test on my Laptop to heat myself up. It’s really neat!

    No, I don’t have a gaming rig. It’s not going above 65W, and I actually have an ideological reason I want to switch to solar power too.

    Soon, my local AI’s will be solar powered as well, and offline.

    Sadly, so far I have the capability to only charge my Tablet and phone, which are actually decent for AI in their own right.

      Better than a benchmark, you should try Boinc or Folding@Home.

      Heating by science.

        There was this citizen science project where few tried to manually fold proteins. Unfortunately, the computer was better than us at it, and we didn’t contribute much. I sucked. However, I contributed my PC resources for a rather short while to some random cancer research project. I don’t remember the details, I figured it was a better use of idle computer time than mining bitcoins.

        Boy was I wrong.
