The next Permacomputing NYC meetup takes place Tuesday April 14 @ 6pm at @ridgewoodcommons nyc.permacomputing.net/ Jailbreaking Old Devices ( with @samanthiik ) > At this meetup Sam Heckle will lead us in a demo of “jailbreaking” to get old devices hampered by planned obsolescence up and running again (think old phones, media players, game consoles). We will be looking for ways to play around with the existing hardware and re-incorporating them back into serviceable devices, running a web server, media player, and more. We'll also continue our discussions on permacomputing and ways we can hack existing devices to extend their longevity and limit our own production of e-waste. Devices are planned to become obsolete, and it is our job as soft(ware) custodians to maintain, cultivate, and care for these old and forgotten tools. Please bring your old devices/phones/game systems. The talk will demonstrate jailbreaking iOS devices but you are welcome to bring what you have.
