Tangentially related: I keep wondering what to do with old Apple devices. I have an old 3rd gen iPad that is intolerably slow, but has such a nice form factor and screen that I hate to get rid of it.
If someone made a swap-out logic board to Android-ify these things, I suspect there’s still got to be tons of them laying around.

- peatmoss 9y agoOh interesting, on my cursory glance I assumed PostmarketOS was only for rootable Android devices. This might actuall be pretty fun to try and get my 3rd gen iPad going. It’s barely usable as is, so no great loss if I brick it. Even then, I assume the screen is still usable for something.
