Alternate title: Making the iPhone usable
2024 and you’re still fanboying for a mobile os?
The video also says that this method does not support audio, camera and cellular. Not very usable IMO.
I’d like another choice, both platforms have become terrible metric-collecting, dark-pattern-infused data-harvesting trash. (iPhone users, don’t believe the commercials claiming privacy.)
Its a joke lmao no need to take it so seriously.
And yet youre the one that seems butthurt, hmm
It’s kinda like installing windows or Linux on a Mac. Yeah you can, but it’s a really bad experience.
Doesn’t installing Linux on a Mac make it more usable though? Especially when using older Mac, that isn’t supported anymore.
that isn’t supported anymore.
Opencore Legacy Patcher is a thing.
Define usable. Just because the computer is out of support doesn’t turn it into a pumpkin.
But windows and Linux on Macs is a painful experience. By default GPU switching isn’t supported so the dGPU is always on. Even without the GPU battery life takes a huge hit. Broadcom WiFi. The trackpad goes from the best to the absolute worst, and since it’s so big it’s impossible to not accidentally click things.
Except Macs that go out of support do turn into pumpkins. Because software will start to refuse to run on it because the OS is too old. That is how I define unusable.
OpenCore Legacy patcher is awesome but it is not without issue.
I guess some people think that unsupported operating systems causing GPU glitches or being stuck in ancient application versions is a better experience. Not me. I am very happy to put Linux on a Mac, get better performance, and enjoy totally up-to-date applications. If I really need to, I could always run one or two macOS or Windows applications in a VM. I am not sure what those would be though.
I have Linux installed on an iMac, a MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, and a Mac Pro ( Proxmox ).
It does not sound like we would agree.
That’s what “keep scrolling” is for, no need to announce it.
TL;DW: They are using project sandcastle with an exploit available to the iPhone X and below.
Nice to see people doing this again
Pretty neat. If for no other reason than “because I can”.
Yeah I thought it was pretty cool. Never knew this was possible, though it appears to have been for quite a while.
I had Android running on my OG iPhone. Must’ve been around Android 2.1 or so.
It was not really usable. More of a curiosity.
Hey look it’s somebody who uses their own device in whatever way they want.
Get 'em!
Its weird that you have to attack some vulnerability to get access
