I found my 7th gen iPod Touch running 15.8.2. This device is no longer supported by Apple so I can’t Sign in with Apple ID to do anything useful. Any ideas of how I can save this device from becoming e-waste? I was trying to add Delta emulator to use it for roms but no luck.

Any ideas/suggestions?? 🤷🏼‍♀️ TYIA 💜

      Even the macs, but people managed to circumvent those better

        They’re not very locked down. Even the apple silicon stuff allows other operating systems, apple just doesn’t tell how to make them work.

        I’ve only installed Linux on one Mac (MacBook Pro 2012) and it was easier than on my Microsoft Surface Go 1 to be honest.

      Not just that — Even if you exploited some bug to run unsigned code, it’s highly unlikely you could find all the drivers needed for that hardware. There’s not a lot of motivation from the open source community to support a tightly controlled platform where few users could even attempt to run it.
