Does anyone else remember Fold@Home? It was an app for the PlayStation 3 that created a supercomputer from all the PS3s running it to help fold proteins in order to research cures for diseases. Whenever I ran the app I felt like I was in the matrix ๐Ÿ˜‚ I miss that era so much.

Folding@home is still going, and is also on PC. Pretty cool idea. Anyone know if current-gen consoles run it?

No idea tbh, I haven't seen it on my PS5 store
