What to do with an old tablet?
I've got an old Lenovo Tab3 850M table, running Android 6.0.1
It's pretty vanilla and I haven't installed any custom ROMs or rooted the device. The battery is in pretty good condition and the table can idle for around a week I think.
It has an 8 inch IPS display, Quad-Core 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, ARM Mali-T720 MP2, 500 MHz, 4-Cores GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB internal storage. The cameras are pretty terrible (even for 2016 standards), and the battery is 4300mAh.
What useful things can I do with it?

I've recently hooked my old tab s up to my 3d printer to have a nice touch screen instead of the 128px lcd with rotary knob.
I have an old tab S lying around and this sounds amazing What software do you use for this?
X-server xsdl
How? I've been looking into this but there are lots of apps and I'm not sure where to start
Probably Octoprint or Klipperscreen.
Interesting use. Unfortunately I haven't found any usage like that. Maybe a home automation system and an Arduino interface?
Using them for a Home Assistant interface is a pretty popular use.
