What do you swear by? (self.asklemmy)

Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

I feel like jailbreaking is often a real chore. The ongoing game of cat and mouse, you know. Is it easy enough to do these days, and do untethered? I haven't really taken great advantage of jailbreaking since like, iPhone 4. But your comment makes it sound like a practical necessity!

Those days are long gone, I’m afraid. It’s not as simple as patching an IPSW like it used to be. The jailbreak scene has been pushed to the edge of a cliff by Apple with each update, especially after iOS 10. iPhone 8/8+/X and lower are jailbreakable for life due to an unpatchable bootrom exploit (checkm8), but it doesn’t mean much now that those devices won’t get iOS 17. Recently, Apple added another security measure (cryptex1) to make it near impossible to downgrade. It’s pure luck these days if/when a jailbreak gets released & for what iOS version. Oh and it’s been so long since the last untethered jailbreak, I can’t remember the name of the last one. All of them are Semi-Untethered (sideload an app with the exploit, but you would have to resign it every 7 days in case your phone reboots unless you own an Apple Dev Account)
