Would definitely be interested in a GitHub please, as I have an old kindle that has zero trade in value and no one wants it.

I have a fist gen ipad that is mint condition but it’s useless bc I can’t download apps or even use the pre-installed netflix or prime. Any ideas on how to upcycle? pls don’t tell me a digital picture frame. I want something useful.

I always consider getting an e-ink display but then someone reminds me ”Umm you can just get a weahter station for like $25 so why build a custom thing if you just weather”. But reusing an old device is a good idea
