Are there any phones or tablets out there that can run on the charger cable only, completely missing the battery? (lemmy.world)

Strange. I think I remember back in the first years of android this was standard. Probably that changed. Do you need it to be a phone? You can run android on a computer, old laptop or virtual machine or single board computer like raspberry pi.

    My question/idea is to repurpose old devices for home use, even after the battery done went to shit..

    Whatever devices that can function without a battery at all would be ideal. You know, something you can use at home to watch videos or whatever..
