  • I've never gone down that route myself, but I have both an iPad 2 and iPad 3.

    The iPad 2 is downgraded to iOS 6, making it significantly useful and faster, and this can be done with the Legacy iOS Kit. That being said I did this over a year ago when the App Store still worked on iOS 6, so you'd need to instead find IPAs and install them, which is definitely a more subpar process. I have a metric ton of old games on mine, as well as TwomonUSB so I can use it as a second monitor

    My iPad 3 is downgraded to iOS 8, which is maybe a 15% speed improvement but it is more bearable than stock iOS 9, and the app store works as well as more apps like Spotify, Discord (with tweak), Telegram (editing Info.plist). Against the grain of what r/LegacyJailbreak would suggest, downgrading to iOS 8 is probably better than iOS 6.

    This doesn't answer your Linux question, but if you wanted to get more use out of your iPad in the meantime I love having mine as a second monitor for my laptop (could also use VNC instead of TwomonUSB) and in general what I've said above makes them 100x more useful than on iOS 9.

  • It's understandable that you suspect InvaderDJ as a bot, but rest assured that InvaderDJ is not a bot. This is a troubling time for you, so it is important that you reach out to friends and family members to ensure your safety in learning of this news.

    I implore you to consider reaching out to the website https://www.totallylegitrecommendation.org to further test if other users you suspect are bots or not, they only require a $54.99/month subscription but is well worth it. Free and confidential.

    In terms of detecting bot accounts, it is important to consider the worthiness of detecting bot accounts to begin with. From there, you can then determine which financial advisor you should seek out so that you are able to be financially stable during this troubling time whilst also supporting my overlords on https://www.totallylegitrecommendation.org who make use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms to determine with a 99.77% success rate, if users you find on the internet are bot accounts.

  • Over 92,000 exposed D-Link NAS devices have a backdoor account

  • I'm still learning Cybersec in general, if I'm reading this right, were these credentials hardcoded in by D-Link, these devices reached EOL, and so they refuse to remove that backdoor on the basis that the devices are EOL?

    Is there a likely reason that these were left in, like could it have been a development oversight, or does it look more likely that this was malicious?

    Regardless, I definitely hold the opinion that D-Link should do the right thing for their customers and patch that vulnerability, regardless of the device being EOL, similar to how Microsoft pushed a security update to Windows XP re WannaCry when it was EOL, on the basis that "Yes, XP is unsupported and you shouldn't use it, but we are patching this particular vulnerability anyway."

  • I am still in my first job as a B2B tech and thought this was something only my workplace did, was scrutinise ticket time.

    I continue to find it hard there because I legitimately don't slack but gaps end up between my time records (its hard to continuously work 4 hours at a time with zero downtime) and the boss comes down saying his KPI of ticket time / worked time teamwide keeps going down, and like you say the goalposts keep shifting.

    I even went to the trouble of making my own time tracker that gave me even more information about my time entries and what was left for the day and how much I was out, way more info than what PSA gives you, but then got scared of continuing to work on it as the goalposts shifted again to billable time entries / worked time, and doing a time tracker isn't billable to a client.

  • OP mentions in the post details that this is a work laptop. Switching to Linux also isn't as simple for most people. I'm fairly technically minded and I still took nearly a year to fully switch, and I decided a year ago that to just not have the headache of virtual machines and/or dual booting, I'm back daily driving Windows because my degree requires me to use stuff that only works on Windows.

    For you it may have been a pretty quick switch because your circumstances would've almost certainly differed.

    That's why I think you're being down voted. If we want to drive Linux adoption, this isn't the way and never was.

  • You could do the screen replacement yourself which honestly isn't too difficult if you follow a repair guide such as the ones iFixit make available. You may find it cheaper to find an iCloud locked 5c with a functional screen than to buy a replacement screen itself, and you have spare parts should you need them.

    However, I believe the 5c was a bit of an underwhelming phone because it was effectively the same as the iPhone 5 that came before it. The latest iOS it got was 10.3.4, which is pretty much unusable in 2024 without jailbreaks. You would need to find tweaks to try and fix apps that are broken, and force the app store to serve you older versions of apps. It's possible to try and make it usable but I do honestly think it's a losing battle as more and more apps update and break compatibility.

    If you're really into the form factor of the 5c you could find a used SE 1st gen which got to iOS 15 but still looks exactly like an iPhone 5, as these are still very daily drivable without jailbreaks.

    Otherwise, I'd usually say its best to keep your S7 going, and install custom ROMs like LineageOS to keep it going further. If an Android phone has mainstream ROM support (by LineageOS or hobbyists on XDA Developers) it's usually much easier to keep it going for longer than an iPhone, and it's usually more secure as you're getting OS updates again.

    My iPhone 4s is a proof of concept device that shows it's possible to have it work with some services today (Fediverse via old.Lemmy.world, Spotify, Discord, iMessage, Reddit via Narwhal, Maps, Telegram, YouTube via m.youtube.com, and Hacker News) but it is a very slow and patience testing experience in nearly all of those. I would not consider my 4s daily drivable and it's exactly why I use it for a distraction free music player with modern conveniences.

    Edit: I should mention that a community I frequented on Reddit was r/LegacyJailbreak, so they will have much further information for you should you want to ultimately repair and reuse your iPhone 5c

  • Personally, I think a factor is there's been a shift by companies in general to not make things as obvious to repair. My dad has a unibody 2012 MacBook Pro and the book literally tells you how to open it so you can service it by upgrading the RAM; a far cry from the situation today.

    Older tools were held together with some common screws and were all built the same, so there wasn't too much concern from the layman popping one open to clean it out to service it. Modern power tools just don't look like you should be opening them, as the screws are completely hidden, they're hard to open comparatively, and its usually the battery that goes anyway, which can't be replaced when it's been discontinued.

  • Hello! Not sure if the screenshot will attach to this comment but I was able to successfully log into Lemmy and I'm replying to your comment from my iPhone 4s.

    With all of this being said and done, I do agree that OP is not likely to be using an iPhone. An Android phone from this period is way more usable than this iPhone even with all the hacks I've done to it.

  • Don't be so certain. Using jailbreaks the 4s can be downgraded to either 8.4.1 or 6.1.3. My own one is on 8.4.1 and old.Lemmy.world renders perfectly on it. I'll grab it actually and see if I can reply to this comment.

  • This might just be me, but I have an old iPad 2 with an app that lets you connect the iPad as a second display to your PC. The app is TwomonUSB, although I don't endorse it. There are alternatives like Duet Display.

    An old iPad of any kind shouldn't set you back any less than $20 (or what you may have lying around), the disadvantage mostly being limited to the 10" size.
