  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I’m bored, so I’m charging my ~16-year-old iPad from when I was really young. You can ask me stuff about it or just talk about your old electronics :)

I found a Amiga 500 the other day. I took it apart and have been cleaning it. Seems to be okay, under all the dust. Just need to find some electricity and something to connect it to.

Very much so. I have been on a retro binge recently. I had a feeling that the Amiga might still be in the basement at my parents... and it was. Also found a NES and my old games there. Been gaming Startropics lol

I was given an older ipad a while back, so I created an account to use it. It was disappointing to find that it was too old to download newer apps, and since my account has never been used to download any versions of apps, it couldn't be used to download older versions. The workaround was to use an apple computer to download apps, but I do not have one.

You should Jailbreak it.

Do you not have any spare electricity?

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

I do, heaps. But I don't currently have a (safe) way to transfer the electricity from my wall into the Amiga.
