Currently got Monterey installed, might test out future versions soon but also only got 4 gigs of ram lol. Got it from work as a secondary Mac to go along with my m4 pro as I’ve always liked the light up Apple logo and Mac models of this era.

Just got the newly released Karson Diecast Lincoln Navigator in the mail — looks awesome and actually nails the Black Label Special Edition package. Also wanted to show off the Lincoln Navigator L Presidential from Shadow Pro while I’m at it. Sorry if this isn’t the best use of the subreddit, just wanted to share.
Positioned as a model below the vantage that would compete with the higher end models of the Lotus Emira and future competitors in that class.
Based on the 3rd generation Honda Insight that would have served as the replacement for the ILX Hybrid while sold alongside the ILX.
Based on design cues from the new Lexus ES, the LX is looking a little old compared to the rest of the segment.

Hey everyone,
I work in a school as an IT intern, and we are trying to clear out a batch of legacy iPads so we can safely surplus or properly recycle them. I received a iPad Mini 2 running iOS 12.5.8 that I have been testing and researching for finding solutions.
The main roadblock is that these units are bound to old employee Apple IDs. Since those staff members have long since left and we lack original purchase receipts, standard institutional recovery paths through Apple aren’t viable.
The Technical & Hardware Hurdles:
- Host Machine Limitations: My daily driver is an M4 MacBook Pro running macOS Tahoe, which makes interacting with legacy software or older device architectures natively difficult.
- Tested Paths: I’ve looked at various legacy compatibility environments and partial workflows, but most result in tethered states that revert upon reboot, or they rely on tools that are completely broken on modern OS builds. Tried various tools and hackintoshing a windows pc to see if MacOS Monterey could work but it didn’t.
The Administrative & Workflow Dilemma:
As part of an institutional environment, any solution has to be clean, stable, and professionally viable. Bringing unverified or sketchy workarounds to management is a non-starter—it needs to feel secure and repeatable enough to present to my boss without introducing security or workflow risks.
My Questions:
For schools dealing with institutional surplus units stuck in this exact state, what is the standard, accepted administrative workflow to clear or properly handle them?
Are there any reliable, stable methodologies for handling activation-locked A7/iOS 12 devices in an enterprise/education context when original account holders are unreachable?
Any advice or administrative guidance would be hugely appreciated. I would be happy to provide more context as well. Thanks in advance!
WiFi doesn’t work which was expected but is pretty cool for a spare computer that’s been laying around!
