The premise was kinda dumb, wouldn't be surprised if its just a scam.

So many people want to believe in this sort of thing for various reasons that I get fatigued at the very thought of trying to explain to people who believe in it earnestly that it is not a good idea. (e.g. commercial hosting services are really competitive; for a long time the cost of computing has been going down over time though I don't know if that is reversing because we've hit the end of the real Moore's law [1] or if it is a temporary blip)

[1] the motor behind it is cost reduction, once that stops it stops because we can't afford it anymore!

The title says PoC, so I presume it's a PoC.

More likely a prank.

I think it's most likely testing the waters for a real offering. It's not that weird. Many colo data centers already have policies about hosting laptops because it's already something that happens. It just isn't common and usually isn't for hosting servers.

I would like to put my Raspberry Pi Pico in colocation, would it work?

		There are a number of places that colocate normal Raspberry Pi. https://lowendbox.com/blog/little-machines-in-big-datacenter... I am sure that some of them either already colocate Pico ones too, or are willing to do so if asked.
