Financial writer Justine Moore has uncovered an unusual use for discarded PlayStation chips. The AMD BC-250 processors, initially designed for gaming consoles, have been repurposed for crypto mining hardware.

The modification allows these chips to run Linux and potentially enable video gaming on the devices.

According to Moore, the repurposed chips can be sourced from China at a significant discount. This development reflects the ongoing trend of reusing technology in innovative ways within the financial and tech industries.
