Ask HN: I was given a powerful PC. Can I make money with it?

2 points by surume ↗ HN
My work gave me a very powerful computer - MacBook Pro M1 fully decked out. Is there any way I can use it to passively (and legally) make some money?

I'm not so creative, so making a YouTube channel where I appear / writing blog posts manually, etc is not my cup of tea.

Don't use company resources for personal use.

Computing power is cheap and plentiful these days.

My answer is therefore: No.

Not worth it on a work device and not very lucrative either.

if it were an x86 machine with a gpu you could set up a a vm with gpu-passthrough and rent it out as a remote docker context for CUDA jobs on vast.ai or render but otherwise no.
