This isn't the first time this idea has popped up.
There are plenty of microcontrollers with USB device support so why not run

directly, alleviating the user from ever thinking about a driver - the
hardware is the driver. You c

heater mode was a coin termed by sandia around 2000. They had 10,000 CPUs,
2 per board, and they had one cpu spin on network activity while the other

Spinning made it warm: heater mode.
