Currently having trouble with ipad 3 on ipadOS 9.3.6 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Sad. But thanks for chiming in. I really hate apple for their walled garden approach. running a rooted android phone is far less problematic and therefore is making huge progress. since nobody seems to be able to reliably even jailbreak apple devices, its more likely they will stay locked until the landfill. Apple should be broken up about this.

Hi folks, I'm a tinkerer and like to hack old devices. Currently running postmarketOS on an old oneplus6. Now I want to try to repurpose my old ipad 3 with LTE.

For that purpose I have tried:

  • https://jailbreaks.app/legacy.html -> phoenix (Error: app could not be installed at this time)
  • windows VM (I'm on linux) with usb connect, I can see the ipad in device manager and open the harddrive but neither itunes nor sideloadly will connect to it. impactor also wont recognize the device
  • exchanging the cable for a different (newer) one, also no change
  • resetting the ipad to factory settings to free up space, no change
  • reinstalling itunes, icloud, sideloadly
  • restarting between each step

I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. I generally have a debug device which I could try and use on the ipad but I struggle to find resources on lower level hardware hacking for the ipad. Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Have a good one!

Edit: The problem might be the windows vm since an iphone 11 with linghtning cable also doesnt get recognized.

Linux mobile is advancing fast but of course not everything works out of the box. Element for example needs to make these sidebars toggleable for small screens. touch control works, room changing works, just the sidebars need to "move it". Anyone up for the task?

Reverse engineering Yealink T41P firmware (lemmy.giftedmc.com)
 

Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place but so please lmk if there is a better place to put this:

I'm currently attempting to reverse engineer yealink t41p IP phone firmware since the device is out of support for some years and but works very well imo. For security reasons and keeping the devices out of the trash, I would like to provide open source firmware for it. I recently learned how the process with clean room reversing works but I'm stumbling at the first step already. Here is what I attempted so far:

The more maintainers are paid, the more improvements they make to their projects (blog.tidelift.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ndlug.org/post/1153465

In the second finding of the 2024 Tidelift state of the open source maintainer survey, we found that the more maintainers are paid, the more improvements they make to their projects.

...

In the previous finding, we reported that 60% of maintainers describe themselves as unpaid hobbyists, and 36% of maintainers describe themselves as paid (professional or semi-professional) maintainers, earning some or all of their income from their open source work.

...

When you break down the paid maintainers into professional (earning most or all of their income from their maintenance work) and semi-professional (earning some of their income from maintaining projects), it becomes clear that the amount of money a maintainer is making for their work has a large impact on the types of improvements they are able to make. Across nearly all major categories, professional maintainers are on average over 20 percentage points more likely to make key improvements to their projects than semi-professional maintainers.

...

In the previous study, 81% percent of professional maintainers earning most or all of their income from maintaining projects spend more than 20 hours a week maintaining their projects. This year, the percentage was nearly identical (82%).

Conversely, in last year’s survey, we found that the vast majority of unpaid hobbyists spend ten hours or less per week on their maintenance work (81%). This percentage also stayed consistent in this year’s survey, with 78% of unpaid hobbyist maintainers working ten hours or less per week.

...

We’ve heard from many maintainers that how they are paid for their work also matters. For many maintainers there is a huge difference between getting a one-time “airdrop” of money, perhaps right after a high profile incident where people are paying attention to their projects, compared to ongoing recurring income that they can count on. So this year for the first time we asked maintainers to tell us whether they would prefer to get predictable monthly income or a one-time lump payment.

An overwhelming majority of maintainers prefer to receive predictable monthly income, with 81% choosing that option.

DEF CON 32 - Disenshittify or die! How hackers can seize the means of computation - Cory Doctorow (youtu.be)
 

cross-posted from: https://jlai.lu/post/10771034

Personal review:

A good recap of his previous writings and talks on the subject for the first third, but a bit long. Having paid attention to them for the past year or two, my attention started drifting a few times. I ended up being more impressed with how much he's managed to condense explaining "enshittification" from 45+ minutes down to around 15.

As soon as he starts building off of that to work towards the core of his message for this talk, I was more-or-less glued to the screen. At first because it's not exactly clear where he's going, and there are (what felt like) many specific court rulings to keep up with. Thankfully, once he has laid enough groundwork he gets straight his point. I don't want to spoil or otherwise lessen the performance he gives, so I won't directly comment on what his point is in the body of this post - I think the comments are better suited for that anyways.

I found the rest to be pretty compelling. He rides the fine line between directionless discontent and overenthusiastic activist-with-a-plan as he doubles down on his narrative by calling back to the various bits of groundwork he laid before - now that we're "in" on the idea, what felt like stumbling around in the dark turns into an illuminating path through some of the specifics of the last twenty to forty years of the dynamics of power between tech bosses and their employees. The rousing call to action was also great way to end and wrap it all up.

I've become very biased towards Cory Doctorow's ideas, in part because they line up with a lot of the impressions I have from my few years working as a dev in a big-ish multinational tech company. This talk has done nothing to diminish that bias - on the contrary.

How to use peertube in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (6 children)

You will probably get the best answers from the peertube community so I suggest you crosspost your question there.

That said, I host a peertube instance. It is the same as any other fediverse service but it is very young so dont expect it to be on par with mastodon and lemmy in terms of usability.

As with all other services, you can make an account on an instance, seeing only what that instance allows you to, either by specifically allowing or disallowing other servers.

So if you want the user experience, check joinpeertube.org for a rather well connected (and or maybe large) instance and join if you want to upload content. If not, you can just use your mastodon account to follow creators or comment on their videos.

If you want freedom to do as you please, you need to get a server that is online (as in not in your home network or at least exposed but treat with caution). You can then install a peertube instance of your own, ideally with a custom domain. Then you can join the network and federate with who and whatever you like.

In any case, framatube is a great company imo but their marketing just isnt that good. Peertube has so much potential and it could be further along by now.

But dont get me wrong. It is still great and here to stay.

Good luck.

I‘d say its bearable compared to the others. Blocking people does make it a lot better though.

Games industry layoffs not the result of corporate greed and those affected should "drive an Uber", says ex-Sony president (www.eurogamer.net)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19624344

Ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering does not believe recent layoffs across the games industry have been a result of corporate greed. Instead, workers who have lost their jobs should "drive an Uber" or "go to the beach for a year" until employment settles.

Deering was a guest on games writer Simon Parkin's podcast My Perfect Console, where the pair discussed games industry layoffs.

"I don't think it's fair to say that the resulting layoffs have been greed," said Deering. "I always tried to minimise the speed with which we added staff because I always knew there would be a cycle and I didn't want to end up having the same problems that Sony did in Electronics."
