What to do with your Toaster?

This started as a fun application to inform some colleagues that they shouldn't throw away their Windows PC. A fresh install can be sufficient and often even work wonders. If you add a little boost here and there in the form of an SSD, the PC might not need to be discarded at all. Currently, some are already dealing with the end-of-life of Windows 10 in October 2025 and the question of how much electronic waste will be generated. For a better feeling, I have now packaged a wealth of information and system checks into an app (hosted in a WebView2/Chromium control) that analyzes the system and provides tips and hints regarding its health status. This might help prevent someone from throwing away their PC and instead consider other uses for it.

The tool essentially employs Chromium as the frontend and utilizes C# in the backend. Perhaps, this could even be the foundation for something more significant – a tool for efficiently and straightforwardly assessing the system's health. It aims to present information to the average user in understandable language.
