ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

After 15 years of testing devices, I have far too much old tech sitting in totes and drawers around my house.

I keep things like phones longer than I should because there's always a tiny voice in the back of my head wondering if they'll be classics one day or, just maybe, if I could still find uses for them. Heck, I recently turned an old Android phone into a Wi-Fi extender. That little project got me thinking about some of my other phones and realizing I really should do something with them.

Then it hit me: Could I turn one into a DIY streaming stick, like a Roku or Fire TV?
