  • Apple should be broken up about this.

    Goddamn right!
    Not sure if you meant upset at the environmental costs, or being literally broken up into a bunch of smaller companies. I agree in both ways.
    They talk big about “doing their part” to bring down e-waste, but if you look at their actions… it’s clear that they’re doing at most the bare minimum.
    It’s performative.

    running a rooted android phone is far less problematic

    Google is changing that. There’s been difficulties with running a rooted android for ages now, mainly with certain apps (banking apps most frequently) either not running, or not running correctly, on a rooted phone/unlocked bootloader/running a custom ROM. Google is now putting through app checks so developers can tell if an app was installed via the Play Store or sideloaded.
    Here’s an article about it.

    Anyway, back to iDevices. I’d say it’s definitely worth it to keep trying on your iPad, if I have time and patience this weekend I’ll have a shot at jailbreaking mine again, and report back if I’m able to get it working and how.





  • What they said is still valid, and the point they were making aligns with yours.

    We don’t know since that’s different for everyone - but we all agree at some point.

    That point is, in our societies, the legally mandated limit of blood alcohol content. How many beers does it take to hit that limit? Without some specific knowledge of an individual, literally no one could say with any certainty. We could make generalities:
    One beer over an hour, when drank with a moderately heavy meal.

    But there’s no way to say “This is too many beers!” Because it is entirely a per person situation. Hell, some people wouldn’t blow over the limit and be so drunk they can’t stand up.
