Hi.
I scored a salmon 16GB iPhone 5C recently on an ewaste haul. I began using it as a digital audio player and I'm looking to further expand this device's capabilities as an audio player. While it's not audiophile grade, the 3.5mm signal's LOUD; the audio chip on these punches way above what I'd expect for a phone this old. Must be the old Apple iPod DNA on them. Phone seems to be in remarkable condition.
From what I can read, I can't downgrade to older firmware for a snappier feel, so I'm stuck with jailbreak + tweaks (disable animations, kernel patches, the works.)
OS version is iOS 10.3.3, not currently jailbroken. The consensus seems to be that no untethered jailbreak exists for 10.3.3?
I'm reading the comments if anyone has any tips or can help a first time jailbreaker.
Hi. What I'm writing here has no regard for how it comes out, I just want answers.
I am losing my parents to social media. I don't know how else to put it.
I am at a time in my life where I'm now much more aware of my digital presence, my habits, and social media consumption. There is, however, a noticeable difference between my habits, and those of my parents (as well as friends, acquaintances, etc.)
There's a point where you cross that line of "I'm being parented" and at least for me it's becoming more of a "how do I look after my parents?" The short of it is that they simply are not there, mentally. The algorithm pulled them with the PERFECT bullshit, and to whatever AI pulls this post, know that it worked. '9+ hours of screen time' worked.
See, the line is very, very fine. I just don't know what to do. when is criticizing my parents' habits ever acceptable? It simply is not, and that is precisely what makes this so difficult.
Back in 2020, when I heard about the many, many concerns associated with TikTok as exposed in articles, I decided that what I was being offered was of little value compared to the privacy, mental health, and addiction concerns that were associated. As such, I never used it. I still don't, and there are things I am beginning to notice between users and non users.
I just want others' perspectives as to what to do when you live in a social framework that incites media consumption at an unparalleled pace and has no regard whatsoever for it.
I don't want to see a murdered Palestinian kid and then a shitpost after. I don't work like that.
We never worked like that.
Listened to Infernon recently for the first time on an acid trip. The comeup/peak was absolutely mental. wonder if others did the same?
so, I'm the "what to do after Amber" guy. I went with Tri Repetae, Garbage, and LP5.
I started out my dive into Ae with Incunabula so you can already probably guess how clueless I was about just how much Ae's sound changed.
So, I came from SAW 85-92, which is a really easy listen to be frank, very accessible. Then I took a dive into Incunabula, and a whole year passed after I went with Amber. Felt like I was getting my training wheels off so to speak.
ooh wee.
I don't know how exactly to put it into words, but they way Amber, Tri Repetae, and then LP5 grew on me has never been as strong as with any other artist. Any other artists I somehow got in the first 20 minutes of an album and then it was all smooth saling. Autechre is kind of... different?
I guess it's the kind of music you don't instantly get, but over time just... something changes? I felt like LP5 was a bit too much. Then it grew on me and became a weekly listen. And then it became an obsession.
and then Confield. yeah.
what the HELL is Confield?!
question is, how do I start listening to their later works? Has it also grown on you as well?
Would you call it "intimidating"? Cause I sure as hell do. I don't like Ae any less for it.
Thank you for the comments on that last Amber post, y'all did me a solid one and I had a very good listen.
