  • I held onto jailbreaking till the end. I have a iPhone on iOS 17.0 and TrollStore for permanent sideloaded apps. It’s pretty awesome! There hasn’t been anything like a jailbreak or TrollStore since then. I wish I had bought an iPhone 15 on iOS 17.0 at launch so I could hold onto this as long as possible. Having a lower end iPhone I’ll probably need an upgrade in the next year or so.

    You can get a similar experience to TrollStore by paying for an Apple developer account or a third-party signing service that abuses Apple developer accounts. It seems android users may have to do a similar thing in a few years.






  • For Apple and other phone manufacturers battery replacements is a point where they can pressure people to upgrade. China has developed a new battery tech with about twice the capacity of standard lithium batteries. When that becomes standard in phones they want people ro be used to the idea of buying half the phone for the same price. Personally, I would prefer 2 day battery life on a full charge if there is a new technology that doubles battery capacity. At best Apple is likely to to keep that in the ‘Pro’ phones until there are $300 android phones with the technology.




  • 2 economist walking in the woods.

    Economist 1 says to economists 2: I’ll give you $100 if you let me kick you in the balls.

    Economist 2 says “sure”

    Then economist 1 kicks economists 2 in the balls and gives him $100.

    They continue walking and see a big pile of shit.

    Economist 2 says to economist 1: I’ll give you $100 if you eat that pile of shit.

    Economist 1 says “sure”, eats the pile of shit and economists 2 gives economists 1 his $100 back.

    They continue walking, eventually economist 2 asks “What was the point of what we just did?”

    Economist 1 responds “We just increased GDP by $200.”
