I bought this to contribute processing power for BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) & World Community Grid To contribute processing power to science areas (biomedicine, physics, astronomy, and so on). Another reason I bought this is to contribute the PC stick's processing power to help find potential treatments for COVID-19. I originally signed up earlier this year for both BOINC & World Community Grid (in reverse order) to help stop this pandemic. both of my accounts are currently completely set up for stopping the Coronavirus. But even after the pandemic has stopped I want to contribute my device(s) processing power for other things too. I have few devices not being used for anything so contributing their unused processing power for many things is a great way to make them useful.
